For me, it depends on the day because some days reading just feels like it takes more energy when I'm already tired...But also watching TV and being online overstimulates me so much quicker than reading so I find myself opting for it more often because it just makes my mind go even faster

meaning being online makes my mind unsettled while reading centers it
@becs exactly. I tend to spend the weekends reading because I am more relaxed and have more time, whereas after work, i only have a couple of hours, so scrolling or tv just seems easier.
Neither. I have not owned a TV in 3 years and am not in a rush to get one. I read books.
I need both, literature and movies and classic TV series from the 1950's and 1960's. I read a lot, I also watch hundreds of DVD's every year (right now all 514 episodes from "Peyton Place").
I hardly ever watch TV.
On our long trips I don't watch TV, I only read books (and always tend to pack too few books like on our France trip in May where 5 books were not enough and there was only one bookstore in Marseille which sold English novels).
Much prefer reading. more likely to watch Netflix/Disney+ with my partner in the evenings or if I need to switch off. Reading is more stimulating.
I prefer to read, but I also watch TV when there is something good to watch.
We added TCM in April 2007 to our cable package. But meanwhile they add no more "new" old movies and I keep watching DVD's with film noir instead.
When away I only read.It is nice to get away from the TV.
At home it's a mixture.
I primarily read . I am also learning Spanish on Duolingo. I turned on the TV only 1 day this summer. When my husband watches TV, I read.
Reading all the way. I have the attention span to read a book for hours, but five minutes of television bores me.
it definitely depends on the day / week I've had for what I prefer
I generally prefer books. But during football season..well, I have to watch my favorite team!
I'm the opposite: not interested in TV sport at all. I can focus on a book while my husband watches the Red Sox or the Patriots. :)
