Not that it really matters what we read and don't, but it's quite fun to consider whether audiobooks count as truly reading books.
Going beyond the obvious no - you're not reading onto the more nerdy details on what really counts as a book, what are the pros and cons of audiobooks, and why reading physical books is (in my opinion) often superior.
