Do you prefer reading a book or listening to books on audio?

Do you like reading a book better or listening to a book on audio?

Or do you do both? And, what are the reasons you'd do both?

[Barbara, Founder and Moderator]

I do both.

I will listen to an audio book in the car or when I'm busy doing stuff like my crafts. And, there are certain types of books I prefer to listen to other than actually reading.

I also will have a book I'm reading at the same time on hand for in the house or sitting at the Dr. office, things like that.

I really like listening to audio books that have more than one reader so you get to know the voices of the characters.

I have to read the book. I have never been able to listen to audio books. For some reason I have trouble paying attention when people read books out loud. My mind often wanders when reading a print book but not nearly as much. I also tend to have problems understanding what people say no matter how clearly it is said so I would have to go read the book anyway.
