I'm not and I'm quite dumbfounded by how anyone can come to that
conclusion.  I actually like the audio books since I'm developing an
attention disorder with longer reading material and I've never read
all the books.  I make the distinction by saying I've *listened* to
all the books.

Put it this way: if someone said they were 'listening' to music by
watching folks play instruments but couldn't hear or feel any
vibrations, then I'd find the term ironic by association from
everything I was taught.
