Books on tape count as real books.  I do not know where this tempest in

 I'm ambivalent.  I let my kindle read to me on long drives and it's
mostly fine, but then I see the reviews on Amazon where it seems
like the people listening to the audio book editions are getting
some kind of radio drama with the narrators doing different voices
instead of just a recitation of the text.
 I don't think people getting their books that way have the same
experience as "readers".

I drove my truck a thousand miles last week, 400 miles by myself.  I forgot to bring a book on tape, actually USB as I do not have a CD player, just a bunch of USB ports.
