To me the result would be different simply because I learn better visually. It's probably closer to a defect in me than a plus, but it is what it is. But, like you, I wouldn't have any problem with someone saying they were "reading" a book if they were listening to it.
My daughter simply will not read eBooks. She reads about five times faster than I do and I keep trying to sell her on the benefits of eReaders — but it's not going to happen with her. Zero interest. People are different and I think that's good. I've never understand why some people seem to feel a need to turn their preference into the "one true way." Especially with something like reading preferences (or listening preferences). What works best for you is probably your best choice.
