In Defense of Audiobooks

"Audiobooks don't count as reading."

I've had this conversation a few times. Because I love to talk about books, naturally I end up occasionally saying "Oh, I'm listening to x" or "I'm reading y." Most people are blasé and uncaring, but some people get very riled up. Especially so when I refer to listening to an audiobook as "reading". I had one person go so far as to tell me I actually had not read a book if I listened to it (despite being able to discuss its content in detail).
