Actually, I have some questions about #AudioBooks
You can't say you've read the book, but having read a book is a common phrase that people understand. 'I've read that book.'
While 'I've listened to that on audio book' is accurate, it doesn't have the conciseness of 'I've read that book'.
Do you think there needs to be a new phrase to describe the act of listening to an audio book?
Like: 'I've audio-read that book.' or 'I've audioed that book'.
Audio-read sounds OK, I think.
