Would you say that someone reading printed out lyrics is listening to music?
Maybe if they were looking at a musical score? Is that listening to music?
I'd suggest it is a way of experience it. But it certainly isn't listening to it.
I think reading is the same.
Audio books are not worse, not lesser, but they are different and that's why I'd say they are not reading.
