Books: Digital or physical?

[Fishandchips]

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 !

I love e ink readers.

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.

[NudeBoldo]

Physical! There's so much more to a book than just text, it's haptics, smell and weight, too.
I feel that reading on my kindle app is not as immersive - it's useful during vacation, though.
But whenever possible I prefer physical objects to data.

I’d rather hold a physical book

Same here. I get the practicality of digital books. Sure, it's easier - you can hold hundreds, nay thousands, many more on a device, but it's not the same when it's a physical book. I'm not sure how to explain it, it's just better.
