Paper, but I love the convenience of e-books on my phone; I'm never without a book.

Edit: And since my phone is waterproof, I can read in the bath, or while washing dishes!

Love paper books, but audiobooks have converted me. I love being able to do chores and listen to a story

I read ebooks because they're more portable, I can read them on my phone instead of doing the old social media counterpoint all day. I have signed up for several digital library cards with fake addresses so I can access more books, lol, and I also buy ebooks with survey money, so all the free books! I read about 10 books a week.

Audiobooks are my go to. I work with my hands all day and having an audiobook is great for non-stop listening.

When I get super into a series I'll end up reading ahead on my phone from royal road or patreon.

If I have the time, I'll do an e-reader or a book. They're about even.

Never had an e-reader, usually I read physical books or on a regular screen, so I guess, paper books?

  2. Paper (with nightlight)
  3. Ebook

I fuckin hate reading. Audio books all the way.

I'd prefer paper, but having moved so many times I just can't bring myself to own hardcopies unless I know someone who would like the book. So it's E-reader unless driving, then audiobook.

I have an executive function disorder, so while reading my mind likes to work on things that are not related to what I'm reading.

So books/eReaders don't really work for me, it's just far too difficult to actually get through something. So I stick to audio books.

Though, audio books tend to put me to sleep.

Paper. I don't fuck with pdfs and audio books are a crime against nature
