Audio Books

This came up in conversation with my parents and was reminded of it as I went searching for Lolita and Steppenwolf at the TSCP library. The question is if you listen to an unabridged recording of a book does it count as having read the book?

Personally I see the value in both ways, however, is it something we would consider using under certain circumstances or altogether avoiding? Let me know what you think.
