Does listening to an audiobook count as reading?
As an evolutionary late-comer, reading and spoken communication lend a lot to the mental processes that already existed. According to the simple model, listening to an audio book is the same as reading print, except that decoding and re-encoding is required. This is not to say that there is no difference between reading and listening. In fact, there are a number of ways in which the two can be distinguished.
For example, while reading a book, the reader’s attention is focused on the words and sentences that make up the text; while listening, it is more likely to be on what the speaker is saying, or what he or she is trying to convey. This is why, for instance, when I read a novel, I tend to pay more attention to what I’m reading than what’s going on around me.
Similarly, if I listen to a recording of a conversation, my attention tends to shift from one speaker to another as the conversation unfolds, so that I don’t pay as much attention as I would if the recording were being read by someone else.
Can I read Audible books on Kindle?
