I used to love physical books, but I just can't do them anymore. It's eBooks all the way - on my phone, namely.

I love to read so much and the ability to have my book on me at all times is irresistible. Going to the bathroom? Waiting at the doctor's office? A few minutes break at work? Snuggling in bed at night and I don't want to turn on a light and disturb my partner?

I've tried a few times to read physical books in the last few years, and having gotten addicted to the pleasure of reading whenever the hell I want, I just can't anymore.

Audiobooks are great for long car drives, but I rarely do those, so they're a very occasional treat for me.

I cannot read on my phone not even a tablet just too many distractions. I am okay with a ebook reader though.

I agree the convenience is a huge game changer. I can vibe with a good audiobook while driving but I mostly just go with a podcast
