So I have a question... just because I'm curious. Do you prefer physical books or audiobooks? And why?
I prefer physical books but I've really gotten in to listen to an audiobook while I'm cleaning, working out, doing a puzzle, or driving. Sometimes I'm reading and listening to the same book and sometimes I have two different books going. You?
AllieLovesBooks I prefer physical books because I feel like I don‘t miss anything. However, I love audiobooks for chores like you mentioned. I typically stick to one format when consuming a book! 💙 5y
Jess861 I prefer physical books. As much as I'd like to be able to listen to audio books, I can't seem to pay attention while listening. Even if I'm just cleaning or doing something mundane, I find myself missing half the book. I'm a slow reader and like to make sure I read every word so that might be part of my issue with audio books and my attention. 5y
DGRachel I‘m inclined to say I prefer physical books, but they both have their place. Having many bookshelves filled with physical books makes me happy. I need to be doing something while listening to audio, otherwise I fall asleep, but I love that audio helps me get through more books than I would if I could only read when I wasn‘t working. There are so many stories I want to consume and not nearly enough time. 5y

Soubhiville I prefer physical books when I can, but I listen to audiobooks while commuting and while working/ doing chores. So my reading ends up being about 50/50. 5y
amywithbooks Physical books. My mind always wanders when I am listening to audio and I don't feel as engaged with the story! 5y
Birdsong28 I prefer physical books as I can read it any time as with audiobooks I tend to listen whilst walking to work or on my own in the house as I am the main reader in the house so I don't think it would be appropriate for me to have my audiobook on. Also I listen to my audiobooks when I do as I know I will get the most out of it. 📚📖 5y
TEArificbooks Physical books. My mind wonders with audiobooks. Especially when it is narrated by one person. I miss so much of the story. I do do audiobooks in the car for the kids though because they like them. 5y
kezzlou85 Physical books. I get too distracted with an audio and tend to miss bits. I used to listen to kids ones in the car when my girls were younger especially the Gruffalo. 5y
Librarybelle I prefer physical books, but I like listening to audiobooks from time to time as I commute to work. Recently, I‘ve listened to so many audiobooks while working from home. 5y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I prefer physical books but I have a place in my life for ebooks and audiobooks. 5y
