I prefer physical books but I can find the time more easily with audiobooks
MasterDvdC · 70-79, M
@Lexi30misery I use audiobooks while driving around in the car.
Lexi30misery · 36-40, F
@MasterDvdC exactly but i pull some odd expressions while listening to them lol
MasterDvdC · 70-79, M
@Lexi30misery No problem with that. I often talk back to mine. Of course I talk to regular and e-books as well.

Both but prefer paper books. The feeling is nicer

@SW-User I'm finding that even at my local library it's easier to get electronic books that printed editions. But, I still prefer traditional paper. I am over 70, though. 🤨
Falconsolo · 26-30, M
@SW-User I agree. Reading isn’t the same with out the pages in your fingers

aesthetically, nostalgically, i prefer paper books, but there are too many good reasons to go with electronic.
I need book cover art that i can hold.

I read traditional paper books. I prefer hardbound to paperback...but HATE massive books that won't fit on my book stand. My son reads audio books because he can do other things while listening to a good book. He hasn't the ability to sit still and read the written word and focus on it, but can listen while working on his laptop.

I love good old fashioned paper books but for travel there is nothing better than ebooks.
MasterDvdC · 70-79, M
You don't have a good choice for me. I like paper, electronic, and audio books.
Fishy · 36-40, F
I usually listen to them by audiobooks or text to speech apps 🥲
Fishy · 36-40, F
@SomeMichGuy depends on what you're multitasking tbh,
I can't do things that require complex thinking while listening to audiobooks etc,
But mundane things like folding clothing, sorting, anything autopilot
Makes the process more enjoyable

While a dead tree book has certain sensuality, when you consider the resources that go into making, distributing and storing, the things.... Is a no brainer in some regards what is better for the future

@Convivial ...
I like to hold my book when I'm reading.
I just recently began listening to audio books on my 30 minute drive to work.
Currently listening to lord of the rings.

I've purchased only a handful of print books in the past 13 years. Ebooks all the way for me.

I don;t have any electronic forms but far prefer to read a proper book.
If it is an instruction manual or some other technical book, where I may need frequently refer back to another page, the printed version is far more convenient and far easier to use.
Besides, a book is readily portable, does not need batteries or a power-supply unit, and does not go "out of date" prematurely at manufacturers' whim!

I like to use my tablet now days. I rarely pick up a paper or hardcover book anymore.
RubiesandButterflies · 51-55, F
There's nothing like holding and flicking through a real paper book for me.
OldBrit · 61-69, M
Both depends on buying options more than anything.
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
I'll take the traditional books anytime.

although i prefer a physical book, i have to confess that i'm being tested by the copy of "The Black Swan" by Nissam Taleb. 350+ pages of 10 point font.

It's been a while since I have finished a book.
I like reading paper books.
EBooks are also fine.

I like eReaders, but they are obscenely expensive, and the pricing of ebooks makes no sense
While some prefer paper back, I prefer reading them back to front
Barny52 · 56-60, M
Prefer paper but tablet is easier to see in poor light
DrWatson · 70-79, M
I like the feel of a book in my hand.
