Nearly all of the books I read for review are e-books.Nearly all of the books I purchase and read on my own are physical books.
I don't do well with audio books, so I've tried exactly one.
E-books: 80%Physical books: 20%
Audiobooks: supplemental use, only for immersion reading
I love physical books and have over 1,000 on my shelves and in various piles on my desks and nightstand.
That said, e-books have become more convenient and practical: travel with luggage restrictions, bedtime reading in the dark, type size flexibility, highlighted annotation/searching, immediate purchase, etc.
I think I’d be about 30% ebooks. I’m always reading a book on mu kindle and then 1 or 2 physical books 😊
99% The comfort of being able to hold the device is paramount for me now that I’m older and have had some injuries. I have always been an avid reader and for a while I was reading on my phone-my daughter bought me a kindle and I haven’t looked back. I do read physical books I receive as gifts. I can even take library books out on my device.
100% ebooks. I've long acquiesced to the fact that I can no longer keep buying physical books-financial woes and all. So, it's just me and my kindle against the bookshops.
100% In 2020 I purchased a couple hard backs because they were not in ebook format.
probably close to 50%. if i can't find it at my library or i don't already own it i get it on libby or download a pdf. i would read more ebooks but screens hurt my eyes lol
0%. I hate ebooks because 1) I get very distracted(ADHD problems), 2) it burns my eyes to a crisp to use them, and 3) you miss the amazing feeling of turning pages in a physical book❤️❤️❤️.
95%. I don’t enjoy physical books as much as reading on my Kindle Oasis.
I think about 70% and I honestly never thought I would like ebooks but I loveeee the kindle
50%..though I am a physical book lover but ebooks are convenient mostly I read them while traveling or while taking a stroll
100% ebooks. I read hard copy when i was in primary and early secondary because we had a school library, but my country literally only has the worst selections for my reading tastes and bookstore books are so expensive in this troubling economy, so i stick to the online libraries 100%
at least 50 % of my reads are ebooks
95-98% with the balance being Audio books. So 100%Have almost ditched physical books since I started reading on my mobile in 2010. Portable with wide variety. Improved after Kindle & KU.
I pick the occasional hard copy while travelling especially in airports/railways if something catches my fancy.
Hard copy has no comparison when it comes to touch ad feel but soft copy provides a lot of added benefits. Bookmarks, highlights, etc.
>90%, not only do I love my kindle, but my library system is amazing so ebooks are fairly readily available. I also read a decent amount of digital ARCs.
I'd say about 80% are ebooks, I'll never give up my library card or picking up a book at my local library. I use the library apps as well. But if I really liked it I buy the physical copy. I have nothing against ebooks. But when you look at kindle, you don't actually own that book. You are paying to borrow it. If they decide to no longer carry a title you've paid for it disappears. Netflix does it all the time. Shows just disappear from their library.
If I know I'm going to want to reread a book, rewatch a movie, listen to music in more than one location I buy a physical copy of it.
Most of my books are ebooks but I still read hard copies too. 95% ebooks.☺
