Audiobook vs. Ebook vs. Physical book
18:00
Ahhh... The great debate. In book world, everyone has a preference.
I know some people who swear ebooks make
them read so much faster, and love them.
I know some ebook snobs who would give
themselves an eye strain form rolling their eyes too hard if anyone convinced
them to pick up anything other than a real book.
There are also often camps against
audiobooks, who claim it’s not ‘real reading’
What’s my preference you ask? I love all
three. A few years ago I was a total ebook snob, and loved physical books.
Although I still believe there is no greater feeling than turning over the last
page of a book, or burying my nose between the pages I truly believe there is a
place for all of them, and I often have 3 books on the go, all in different medias.
I usually have an audiobook in the car, which I
listen to and from work. This is a 30 minute drive each way, so an hour of
audiobook a day means I can consume an extra book every 2 weeks, when I would
otherwise be listening to music.
I also always have a few ebooks on the go,
which I may read on my laptop when I don’t have a physical book handy.
Which media of books is your favourite?

I was an eBook snob and would only read a physical book until my hubby bought me a kindle (I now read on my iPad), I now only read eBooks and find myself struggling to get through a physical copy.
ReplyDeleteI struggle with audiobooks too because I am always doing something when I am listening and miss important information, I tried to listen in the car but I was never in it long enough. I do hope to get back into them though.
I'm definitely an eBook girl.

It's funny how we can be so against something until we give it a go! I guess your husband did well then ;) haha
