Listening counts
as reading here
Log listening time the same way you log pages. Your streak, your library, and your year total include every hour of it.

Audiobook progress arrives as time, and book goals are usually set in books or pages. Aleph converts listening time to a page-equivalent using the title's own length, so a 9-hour listen advances the same bar a 300-page read would.
If you would rather keep the two apart, audiobook sessions can be excluded from page-based goals while still counting toward your streak.
The commute is a session
Listening happens in fragments — a walk, a drive, the washing up. Sessions can be logged in those fragments and still add up to a legible week.
The weekly view shows listening and reading side by side, which is usually the first time people see how much of their year is actually audio.
Common questions
- Do audiobooks count toward my reading goal?
- By default yes. You can exclude them from page-based goals in settings while still counting them toward streaks.
- How is listening time converted to pages?
- Conversion uses the specific title's page count and runtime rather than a global average, so a dense book doesn't inflate.
- Can I track a book I'm both reading and listening to?
- Yes. Both session types advance the same title, which is common for readers who switch to audio during a commute.
