Audiobook because I can listen while driving, chores, etc.

nerdygymgirl.bsky.social•47 days ago

All the ways. I use audio most often lately, but physical books of any kind are next. Ebooks are my least favorite of the options.

vinnyazzuri.bsky.social•47 days ago

I use a Kindle almost exclusively now.

alonea.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes

regionrev.bsky.social•46 days ago

Hard cover

mel4357.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes to all!

bryan-unionthug.bsky.social•47 days ago

Audio. ADHD makes it really hard for me to sit still for too long but I listen to several books a week

beryan.bsky.social•47 days ago

Paperback and e-book

kathyincanada.bsky.social•47 days ago

All of the above.

evafrommviolet666.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes, yes ,yes and yes!

hhvr.bsky.social•47 days ago

E-books only, since cataract surgery. More about accessibility as I did love to hold a hardcover book in my hands.

libraryfromscratch.bsky.social•46 days ago

The only format I don’t have much experience with is audio, but my husband loves them! Traditional reading sometimes puts him to sleep 😭 almost like a lullaby at bedtime

mapedencoviello.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes. I like all of them.

theblackrepublican.bsky.social•46 days ago

Hardcover or full-sized paperbacks...

sloop14.bsky.social•47 days ago

I'm an ebook reader and an audiobook listener. Being able to adjust the size of the font and listen while I'm doing something else is very beneficial to me.

jodyjrj.bsky.social•47 days ago

E-books for ease and especially for travel, hardcover if I loved the book or it’s an author/series I follow, and audiobooks for driving.

sharonmcteir.bsky.social•47 days ago

All four. I usually have a regular book or ebook for general reading and a different audio book for when I’m out walking or in the car. I’m less likely to read a hardback book as I just find it less comfortable to read.

hugh023.bsky.social•47 days ago

Definitely prefer printed . . .

troyperault.bsky.social•47 days ago

Hardcover or paperback. Whichever my hand lands on first.

susmul.bsky.social•47 days ago

angelusmerula.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes

dogma9.bsky.social•47 days ago

I do audio because reading puts me to sleep. But, I do buy the books I listen to for the library, so I can support their work and display my preferences.

deirdre63.bsky.social•47 days ago

All of the above?

richieacosta.bsky.social•47 days ago

Audiobook and paperback.

roadie2.bsky.social•47 days ago

Hardcover mostly.

thelippyfish.bsky.social•46 days ago

Yes.

teacherca.bsky.social•47 days ago

I don't have the space for books (small apartment), so I usually do ebooks. However, if I need a book as some sort of reference, I want it at least in paperback. That way, I can flip through it easily.

shannenn.bsky.social•47 days ago

I mean I’ll ready any format, but a floppy paperback is just 🤌🏻🤌🏻

marelleigh.bsky.social•47 days ago

Will always love the feel of a book in my hand.. but I find that I can get some novels.. that I might not take the time to read in on audio during drives Etc.

catspaw.bsky.social•47 days ago

I love my ereader for most books. But fast paced adventure is on audio so I can listen while I exercise, walk the dog . . .

stylebymichelle66.bsky.social•47 days ago

Paperback or hardcover

betsykinghansen.bsky.social•47 days ago

Ebook exclusively

muataphadarboe.bsky.social•47 days ago

Hello

amandaprowse.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes.

bibliophile23.bsky.social•46 days ago

Hardcover is my preference. Then paperback.

sinofempathy.bsky.social•47 days ago

I like hardcover. I find the other drivers prefer I use audiobooks.

weaverdoug.bsky.social•47 days ago

I prefer paper. But I'm going blind so I now prefer e-books.

thepsyoflife.bsky.social•47 days ago

I LOVE reading hardcover books, but rarely do. Living internationally and moving country every four years means that e-books are the only thing that makes sense. I've got my entire 1,000 book library in a tablet device.

Ma Belle Femme prefers audiobooks.

boguladekoms.bsky.social•47 days ago

Audiobook, a lot of times I just can't concentrate on a book :/

spgallatin.bsky.social•47 days ago

I read mine both ways. If I’m writing a series, I sometimes use either paperback or ebook for quick reference. Gotta keep them plots straight, ya know?

camanokid.bsky.social•47 days ago

Paperback.

sassiewriter.bsky.social•47 days ago

hardcover, paperbk, audio and ebook - just whatever is available

janie5140.bsky.social•47 days ago

All three

binusia.bsky.social•47 days ago

I read my books on my kindle, and I also buy paperbacks.

goldfinch-writes.bsky.social•47 days ago

All of the above! But primarily e-book, since it’s easy to slip in my purse & take anywhere.

firecracker684.bsky.social•47 days ago

Paperback! The only time that changes is when it's a very large fantasy book.

whodeyhoney.bsky.social•47 days ago

Hardcover (and the older I get, I prefer Large Print).

carbondot.bsky.social•47 days ago

Hardback for non-fiction, paperback for fiction, e-books for material available on kindle unlimited or Libby, and audiobooks never!

wadcorp.bsky.social•46 days ago

Usually hardback.

merisi-vienna.bsky.social•42 days ago

Print.
No e-books.

southernfriedtarot.bsky.social•47 days ago

Curled up warm and comfy!

soundhealslove.bsky.social•38 days ago

As someone who spends 4-6 months of the year on the road, e-books have been a godsend for me. I can’t wait for Bookshop’s version so I can cut the cord with my current app.
