There are many people, for what ever reason, can't sit and read (learning disability, work, kids, etc), not to mention that some people 'read' better listening to a story (ie learning styles - I am a visual learning, my DH is a auditory one, so we have different styles in reading) So I have no trouble calling it 'reading' when you listen to a book. I do think that when you are discussing a book, the viewpoint from a 'audio' reader is going to be different than a 'visual' reader. Thats not a bad thing, just different and it makes for a very interesting discussion.
