E-books and e-readers all the way! All my teenage years I was reading on a e-reader.

I broke mine couple of months ago and I will probably buy an replacement with my next paycheck.

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.

I do this as well. I ended up reading the rest of Azarinth Healer and am now working on the wandering inn. If I could buy physical copies of these books I would just to support the authors.

Audiobooks allow me to stoll through the park while drinking coffee and listening to the story. Or for fantastic visualization, driving across the country with an audiobook offers little visual distraction. Basically they let me do mundane but necessary things while "reading".

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

I fuckin hate reading. Audio books all the way.

[–] PanoptiDon@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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
