Would I have loved the book, and Carter, if I wasn't listening to him? And good point that there are other reasons for reading print than enjoying a story; building written/reading literacy skills, as you point out.

Probably, if you are judging an award, you really ought to read it on paper. And kids who are just learning how to read (ie decode written language) can't get away with JUST listening if it's a school assignment. But otherwise, I count listening as reading it, too.
