Do Audio books count?

[japple]

4. They are every bit as good as paper books. I have always been an avid reader. When

I had 3 episodes of retinal detachment over a 4 month period, I would have gone berserk without audiobooks. They saved my sanity and, even though I had previously only listened to them while driving/riding, I gained a new appreciation for listening to audiobooks thru headphones. It is a wonderful experience. A few of standouts: Charles Frazier's book, Thirteen Moons, Tana French's book, In the Woods, Khalid Hosseini's two books, The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.

After the 3rd surgery, the vision in my left eye was compromised and I began reading e-books so that I could use large print. It is wonderful to have these options available. Over time, my left eye improved, but I found that I really enjoyed the ease of reading on an e-reader and the time/money I save downloading books from the library rather than getting in the car for a 40 minute round-trip to town is considerable.
