      I already spend most of my day reading and writing documents so the idea of reading even more for fun just makes my eyes hurt. I love books but if I can enjoy them in a different format to let them rest then I’d be happy to do so. Audiobooks are a great experience when you’re out for an evening walk or staring at traffic for your commute.

      You say it’s an unpopular opinion but the survey results in the linked article suggest that Britain generally agrees with you (52% responded “No, I do not” to the question “Do you consider listening to an audiobook as equivalent to having read that same book?”).

      The “yes” option was around somewhat less popular overall (29%).
