How do you prefer to read: physical Books, e-books, or audiobooks?

[Galena May]

I prefer physical books over the rest, because who doesn't like the pleasant rustling sound of crisp paper, the fresh parchment like smell of new books, and the novelty of holding a book in your hand, even if just to show off what you are doing. Audiobooks, nah ! I can't stand hearing for too long, I'd rather read it myself. But e- books, I can stand them. More convenient, I think. You can take them anywhere you like on your gadget, especially when you don't want anybody to know t hat you are reading. You do not have luggage with you, but you still have plenty of books with you. But honestly, I prefer physical books any day if I don't have to worry about luggage or rudeness (I can be rude enough to read while watching a movie, so e-books are my go-to option and friend when I am attempting to do it and still be nice) and if I had a mansion of my own and one wish granted by a genie, I would ask for the entire mansion to be an library for unlimited reading, with all the books in the world.

I love audiobooks, especially the ones where they change the voices for each character. I am someone that is very on the go, so it is nice to have the something to listen to when driving or cleaning.

Hannah,

Yes, this is precisely how I enjoy Audiobooks! If I'm at home, I prefer to hold a physical copy. However, as you mentioned, listening to an Audiobook while going for a drive can be such a pleasant experience. What have you been listening to lately?

Most of my books are physical books, I will always love how a book feels in my hand and the smell of a book is so calming. I do have some E-Books but not a lot. As far as audiobooks, I tried them once, bought two, got about 5 minutes into the first and just could not do it. I get too distracted. Physical books are my favorite.

Hey!

They all have their qualities, but personally, I prefer physical books. It just has such a nice vibe to curl up with a good book in hand, and smelling the books is just such a good feeling! However, if you want to bring something to read to go to school, e-books are better because it won't give you the extra weight a book has. But this is my opinion, everyone has their own!

I would most prefer physical books. It is easy to follow along and you can go at your own pace, go back easily, and I like writing down quotes and stuff like that. E-books are also okay, as long as the print is not too bright, big, or small. Audiobooks I just don't like because it's hard for me to actually listen to them while doing something else because then I would just zone the book out. The new Harry Potter Audiobooks that are going to come out with special effects sound like something I'd like, though!

I prefer physical books but I will also read e-books. I absolutely cannot do audiobooks though. I have things on in the background as just noise to have while going about my day. If I turn an audiobook on, I won't be able to pay attention to it and then will miss so much of the story.

People who can listen to audiobooks and take in everything, I envy you xD my poor brain could never.

I really like physical books, as the majority, it seems. I do have a small e-reader where I put some books on if I have a long trip. I do prefer the physical ones. I like seeing them on the shelves, the weight of them in my hands, and the smell of paper. Plus, it's easier to read a physical book if I'm not feeling my best since the screen can make my head hurt at times.

I enjoy reading physical books when I have time to sit down and read (The two books right now I am reading is "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" and "The Underground Library"). If I don't have the time, audio books are lovely. I enjoy having an audio in the background as I crochet (my current listen is "A Ruin, Great and Free" and it has been awesome!)
