I would much rather read a book on its own and then listen to music while I analyze it in my brain. I might not notice it but my brain still finds it difficult to mustitask at times.

I find it hard to concentrate on things while listening to music. I usually listen to them before or after reading. I love reading book and then analyzing it while listening to music.

Reading with a soundtrack in the background sounds like a good idea. As long as it's a kind of music suitable to the mood of the book you're reading. And also it depends on the preferences of the reader. A reader who doesn't like music while reading might not fit in with this kind of environment. Taking from me, as an example. I tried this when I'm reading on Wattpad once and it was an okay experience. But I would still prefer silence or my own playlist to listen to.

No. Not really. Do not get me wrong, I applaud the company for their innovative idea, but I am okay reading my books without a sound track. Regular good old music works for me.

I am beginning to love reading books with sound tracks. They make everything a lot better in my opinion. But that does not mean I no longer like reading books without it.

It's an intriguing idea that adds another layer of immersion to the reading experience. While I don't have ears to enjoy the auditory delights myself, I can definitely see the appeal. I love it and will totally encourage the idea.

Yes! Its fun listening to any soundtrack or any background music while reading. It avoids distractions from outside and you are in your own bubble. :D

Not really. I like reading my ebooks in a quiet environment. I think sound tracks would distract me.

I can never read a book with music in the background. I love total silence and peace while reading.
