Paper for sure. For a novel, I just find an E-reader too impersonal. A paper book is much more cosy.

Also, if the book's ending sucks, I can throw it across the room. I did that when I read Crichton's Sphere.

I also can't do audiobooks. My attention just drifts too much and I miss important things. I do listen to radio dramatizations though. The BBC does lots of them and many are on the Internet Archive.

I love audiodramas! Do you perchance have a curated list of them?

I do not, sorry, but the Internet Archive has a vast number.

This person put together links to a lot of the BBC drama programming, but not all, and there's Canadian and American programming too (much less so though).
