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".


And want to misuse the verb 'read'. But I am here to shut that shit down.
