Question to the Avid readers

[Kane]

I have been into audio books for a long time now, and I am looking to make a switch.

I am having a difficult time choosing between print and ebooks, what would you recommend based on your experiences and why?

thanks in advance.

I say print. Reading an ebook just doesn't compare to the experience of reading and holding a physical copy. Plus a physical copy doesn't have a battery that runs out.

Kindle is definitely worth a try. I liked it more than I imagined.

I have been into audiobooks recently because I thought it was convenient and it saved me time. Just today, while listening to Stolen Focus by Johann Hari, my perspective on this shifted. I was an avid reader in my younger years. I noticed sitting with keen attention to read a book made it resonate and stay with me longer than audiobooks or ebooks.

How do people listen to audiobooks, I find they read too slow.

If you’re into the subject matter being read, and the readers voice, it all comes together quite nicely.

Like YouTube videos. Find something that interests you and set it to the right speed for you.

I love physical books better, considering I'm tempted to use electronics for other things rather than reading.
