Of course not. Neither has anyone else here, for that matter. But that's a strawman anyway. Where are these hopelessly illiterate audiobook junkies you're suggesting exist?

My point is that someone's literacy (or lack thereof) cannot be accurately accessed by whether or not they like to listen to audiobooks. Not in and of itself. There is no inherent connection between liking audiobooks and being less literate. Which is what you've been trying to imply.
