therefore it's context-dependent. if someone says "I read 63 books last year!" and includes audiobooks in that count, great!
if someone says "my third graders can't read basic sentences and that's a problem" and someone else tells them to try audiobooks - not great!

however, for the definition of "decoding written symbols and understanding their association with spoken language" then audiobooks do not count. that kind of reading is a skill that has to be taught and no amount of listening will improve it

it all depends on the definition of "reading." for the definition of "absorbing narrative/information from words that someone else wrote" then yes audiobooks count. HOW you absorbed the information is irrelevant!
