65% audiobooks, 30% ebooks, 5% physical books
I'm with Persnickety! Additionally, because I'm disabled it's easier for me to hold an e-reader than a book--especially when I'm rereading something like Middlemarch, LOL. (The only downside is that Amazon won't send me ALL my highlights if they're too many/too long, and of course I can't underline or make notes in the margins--ok, that's 2!
50 % ebook 50% physical books i love reading both
Recently, I would say about 5% are ebooks. I'll read an ebook if it's not available physically. Otherwise, I love adding physical copies to the collection!
I read about 3% of my monthly TBR are ebooks.
About half I’m in a book club. I usually get a hard copy and also do bulk book orders if there’s a big sale somewhere
Almost all the kindle/kobo books I read are ones I buy at significant discounts
Most! I haven’t got room for new books unless it’s one I LOVED and need in physical copy (I pre-ordered a signed copy of Katherine Arden’s upcoming book and I’m very excited for that) but my Kindle is so convenient because it means I can read in the dark, and I hate relaxing with the big light on.
100%. I'm disabled, so an e-reader allows me to read and/or listen comfortably. But I do maintain a well curated library of books to read/reread when the grid fails!
Zero. None, I like 'real' books. I'm old / old-fashioned, I guess? I have had a Kindle for years - never use it. I have become a very frequent local library patron. Belong to 3 book clubs there. I will occasionally buy a cheaper paperback from local indie bookstores only. Too much clutter in my house, got hundreds or more books. Library works well. Yes, I suppose that ebooks would, too. I'll think it over. Still, the library is cheaper...
If I'm being honest I hate listening to books or online reading. I have to have a copy of it. I don't know why but just something about holding a book feels soo good.
Probably 40%. I read a lot of arcs on my Kindle.
99.9%. The price of paper books prices me out with my reading volume.
mainly ebooks on my Kindle mainly due to the automated system from the library and larger font
100% in between life, work, and commutes I don't have the extra time to go to the store and buy physical books. all i have is my kindle
I read one ebook last year. I'm about 80% audiobook and 20% print books.
50% ebooks and 50% paperback/hard cover
50% 1 credit a month and plus catalog and orginals plus alot of new books less then $10 on audible
I read 30% ebook and 70% physical copy. I have severe vision issues that is hard to read on my Kindle app on my iPad. Just all-around easier for me to read an actual book.
0 freaking %there is no way i will give up my beloved paper pages
you'll have to kill me first
0%, I can’t do ebooks, I don’t find it satisfying. Physical books or audiobooks for me.
Maybe 33%--I have about a 1/2 hour-45 min. drive to work and listen in the car.Let me amend this, I was thinking audio vs. physical books. I don't ever do ebooks. No internet at home (too remote) and no smartphone (again does not work where we live). The above percentage is for CD audio (33 %) vs. physical (66%). Sometimes it's more like 25% and 75% depending on my mood:)
0%. I enjoy the book as a physical entity. They also look well in my shelves and their presence comfort me somehow
probably 1/3 . i have a book for my office, a book for my room, and then I read e-books when I'm not home
I read about 40% ebook/audiobook and 60% physical
90% mostly. I'm afraid that if I buy books, I would want to keep buying it.
yess me too, I read probably 85% of books on my kindle because I do not have the space in my apartment to have a massive book collection :(
Probably around 60%. I read a fair amount on my Kindle.
I'd say about 50%! I lovee the feel of physical books, but ebooks are way more convenient. The other 50% is split evenly between physical and audiobook
Most of my books are ebooks, mostly because I got them for free for my Kindle reader from Amazon. I do borrow physical books as well as newer ebooks from the library since buying books is not something I can do currently.
Last year it was 45% but this year I know it’s going to be 98%
100% for sure, i totally get the love for physical books, but my kindle is just way more comfortable and easy to carry. it makes reading easier.
I’m 50/50. I usually read two books at a time one on my kindle and an actual book.📚
40% ebooks, 50% audio books, 10% physical books (only buy after I read it and know that i absolutely love it, building a library of only favorite books).
