Obsessed With YA & NA discussion

Which type of book do you prefer to read from? If it's a physical book, do you prefer Hardcover or Paperback?

Personally I love ebooks because they are easy to travel with and my TBR shame can't be seen. I can highlight, bookmark and take noted easily without damaging by book. I know tons of people who swear by physical books and others who prefer audio books. What's your pick?

Depends. For books that I'm really looking forward to I buy the physical copy, in either paper back or hard cover (I don't really care). If it's one that looks okay, I'll usually get it as an ebook. I don't really know why I do this, I guess I like to look at books that I really enjoy or am looking forward to on a daily basis to remind me to either read them or how much I loved them. But I'm running out of shelf space so I'll probably be getting a lot more ebooks

Physical-Hardcover. I also like to read on my Kindle, but the majority of books I get on there are either ARC copies or free books I found on the Kindle store. I only have a handful of books I paid for on my Kindle. But hardcovers last longer. I carry a purse, so if I'm reading a paperback, the book tends to get damaged in some places because of it being in my purse. :(

I prefer books and usually paperbacks. (Which is odd I know) but I for some reason don't care much for hardcovers. Now if it's a book I've been waiting for, for a long time, I have no problem getting a hardcover. I do get some ebooks, but the majority of them are free, and I used it mainly if I travel so I don't have to take so many physical books. But there's nothing like a physical book.

I love physical books, I received a kindle as a gift and initially I loved it but then I quickly missed having the physical book in my hands! I usually remove the sleeve for hardbacks and they are really pricey in Aus so I usually end up going with paperbacks.

Depends.I usually have my paperbacks because it's cheaper than the hardcovers. If I have a budget, I buy hardcovers (when it is a standalone or the last book in the series. or on sale). While on ebooks, it's convenient for me to read at night.

It always depends on the situation. If you had asked me that question last year, I would never have even mentioned eBooks, but my reading style has definitely evolved over the past year. eBooks are so convenient for traveling and hassle free (in terms of reading positions), but I don't always have access to them, such as in class. Hardcovers are my preferred physical book format, but paperbacks are easier to hold in one hand. Audiobooks are great for on-the-go story absorbing as well as productivity when you want to get other tasks accomplished. I vary between all of them and don't think there should be a real argument posed because of how different mediums they are.
