Books- physical, digital, or audio?
I love them all, though not equally.
The digital are good when traveling, because books are heavy and take up space, plus the screen helps with visibility so I don't have lights on in case I'm in a room where others are trying to sleep.
I really like the idea of audiobooks, because not only do they go quicker, they free you up to do other things while you listen. The problem is I'm the type of person that will flip back occasionally to reread something that I think connects to whatever I just read (Is this the same last name I saw earlier? How far did it say this town was before? How long ago did that event happen again? Etc.), and that's a little difficult to do on audiobooks. I will listen to them for short books, though, or fairly simple ones where I won't really have to know exactly how one person or event is connected to another. They're also great for when I'm in bed resting my eyes.
Give me physical books for everything else. I love the feel and smell of them, and as I said, it's easier to find something I need to reread.
