Audiobooks - people are listening to the book. It is a passive action. They are not reading it. They are using their ears to listen to the book. Much like one can read a play or watch a play or listen to the play. The verb is different because the kind of action being performed is different.

Now whether it gives the same experience, I do not know.
But if that's how peeps need to "read", then it's better than not enjoying books at all. Still, don't claim to "read".
