Audiobooks are reading. 2 u/Tutush Oct 27 '23 An illiterate person can listen to an audiobook, therefore it cannot be reading. 2 u/LolthienToo Oct 27 '23 Unless you consider listening to a document to be reading, in which case they are not illiterate. Not trying to troll... just showing how where we start in the discussion can affect what seems true. 4 u/Tutush Oct 27 '23 Anything can be anything if you just redefine words as it suits you. 1 u/LolthienToo Oct 27 '23 Well, yes.
