I prefer physical copies. I tend to ore-order my favorite authors so those usually come in hardback. But I also read paperback. I have an iPad with a kindle app and also have a library in there. I usually read my iPad in bed as it tends to be easier and sometimes travel with it.

Not a fan of audible.

I definitely prefer reading hardback books. Went through a phase of reading a good bit on my phone but eventually went back to the ole tried and true paper copies

I like the kindle app on my phone because I always have it with me so I’m never without a book.

That’s come in handy a few times when I’ve found myself out somehow and needing to waste a little time. Plenty of times I would have gone into the first store I found and bought a book to keep me busy.

I’ll use a Kindle for bright light areas such as beach. IPad for night reading and paper book at lunch. I usually read 2 books at a time. 1 at lunch and 1 at night. It takes longer and I read in bits, but not bad. I prefer a paper book as long as its not tiny print.

I have been reading pure ebooks for many years now. Back when I worked on a tug boat I learned that carrying a big paper bag of paper backs wasn't efficient and caused many lost books. I bought a nook and never looked back. Paper books are expensive and dont fit my SSI income many ebooks are free to cheap. I like them so much that I wrote one and had it self published and it is distributed to all ebook sellers. Was fun and strike one on my bucket list I am now an official author.
