E-book or Paperback or Audiobook?

Post by Leona Rodrigues »

What do you prefer more, reading an e-book or a paperback? Or do you not like reading but just listening to an audiobook? Can you resonate with your choice over the rest?

I used to love paperbacks and was strictly against e-books but in this economy it has become a necessity. Saves a tonne of space and are usually cheaper and almost instantly available in the comfort of your without having to step out of your home.

If I have the three options, I would prefer audiobook. it is like communication and the narration directs me to the thought of the author in a different way.

This totally sounds like me!! Even I had the same opinion and now I read e-books.

Please don’t judge me but I thoroughly enjoy an audiobook. The paperback book will always have its own charms but sometimes it’s tedious. Audiobooks are more convenient to read anywhere and anytime. That alone makes me like the listening experience more.

Hello there, everyone is unique and has their own choices. And hence, there are so many choices available. We are no one to judge each other!! :D

i’ll always be paperback (ideally) but e-books are okay too, especially since i always spend so much money on paper backs only to never re-read them :( but e-books have been making their way into my life and i’m not toooo too upset about it

Paperbacks for me too; but e-books and audiobooks, which I tried recently are good too, considering how much easier they are to carry around.
