Books: Digital or physical?

[nudesailor]

I have a kindle for emergencies, like when I travel and I run out of books, but I find if I read on it, I don't remember what  I read, and I normally remember a lot. I think it has to do with visual memories

I prefer physical books. Reading them does not make the same big effort to the eyes like reading a digital book.

I like both to be honest, but at @tkh points out, physical books are less fatiguing to the eyes.

Also, books are super cheap - before Coronavirus, I bought a Dan brown bundle with the Davinci code, and 4 other books for £5. They were basically new, so that was a right bargain!

I can't get on with audiobooks because I can't absorb them. I don't like sitting down doing nothing, and I get bored, but that's the only way I can get into audiobooks.

I prefer physical. I have trouble reading lots of text on a screen. Short messages and emails fine but scrolling through long letters, instructions and books I prefer to look down a page I’m holding in my hand

Most definitely physical books. I have tried listening to books but like others here say, I cannot get into them in the same way - especially with a narrator who I have maybe seen in film or television - that really confuses things!

Physical is cool but when you travel, it is clearly better to use a device that allow you to read ebook.
Its more practical (less bulky and heavy)
In some device, you can amso have a dictionnary inside, and it can be very usefull !

Comics and manga have always been a digital read for me, so transitioning to buying digital from scanlations has been fairly smooth.

Before actually having to be on my computer for hours everyday, I would have said digital for sure.
But now my eyes really get tired of watching a screen so I would definitely say physical.

*I guess that with a proper digital reading device it would be much better, but i do not have one atm.

maybe i sound old but i find it easier to read if i have a physical book

I like the feel of physical books and I like having an actual bookshelf full of books. One thing I do like about digital books though is if you don't know a word you can just highlight it to look it up. I sometimes listen to audiobooks when I go to bed too.

I love physical books, but atm im reading so much I am using more digital, as they are much cheaper and more easily obtainable

It always feels like I'm living in the future when the book quotes something in a different language, and I can just highlight it and tell the e-reader to translate it for me

Don't know if I posted here but if I did my answer's this: I prefer holding a book but the Ebooks are a nice alternative.

I do like reading paper books but I read a lot on the kindle just to save space.
