And if someone asks, "what are you reading?" will you answer with an audiobook, if that's how you consume books?

I always find this kind of awkward to talk about too. I go through a lot of books in audio format, and I often find myself relating something I've learned from an audiobook to others, but for some reason it seems weird to say I've been listening to a book and also wrong to say I've been reading it. Is it even a book in audio format, or a performance of a book?
I usually just say something along the lines of "I've been getting through" or "I just finished" or "In ... it talks about ..." to just gloss over whether I've been listening or reading.
