LISTENING TO AN AUDIO BOOK STILL COUNTS AS READING A BOOK:

It’s just a different way to get the words into your head… plus… I can listen to an audiobook at 3X speed (540 words/minute)… college students average about 300 words/minute

All that to say, I can get more words in my head over time faster and more efficiently then sitting down to read a book

Reading physical books is still valuable, but I typically only do it if I also have the 3X audio in my ear helping me speed my reading pace
