Used to be a big physical book reader but now I've converted to e readers. Overall light weight and I can lie in bed without a big ass book falling to my face. Maybe when I have more free time i'll go to the library and get a physical book cuz its nice sometimes.

Nothing beats physical, you can see what you finished, and half my wall is bookshelves.

I recently converted from physical to a Kobo eReader. I'm not going back.

Went from physical books > e-reader to audiobook. My attention span to read a book is pretty much gone. I love listening to audiobooks while cleaning, gardening and so on

Physical books, always read when I need to kill time

I mostly do audiobooks or podcasts when driving, it makes the trip that more enjoyable.

Physical but I like ebooks also, but I hate kindle with a passions.

E-readers are nice and convenient until you forget to charge it, a physical book won't die on you mid-commute!

Also Kobo has that subscription model where you don't own the books, just have access as long as you pay your monthly fee - which is shady but a still lot more convenient than conventional books.

Ebooks are much cheaper and more accessible than print books. If you want certain print books, you'll have to contact publishers to find stores that sell them.

i have an ipad but i regret the purchase, certain ebook readers are specially designed in a way to not strain your eyes

 

[The truth seeker]

E books strain your eyes physical books will always be superior

Physical books are better and provide greater satisfaction when displayed on a shelf after reading. but i also like the e-books for showing the percentage of progress
