I stopped doing print books in 2011. I'm doing book box subscriptions in 2021 which will help me get back into print books. Let's see if I like them again. I love, love, love audiobooks!! They make reading easier when I need to do other things like type this post! I have my headphones in right now listening to The Wrong Gentleman on audible.
I love the ease and convenience of e-books but I don't like the fact that I don't truly "own" it as I would a physical copy. I want to start collecting nicer editions of some of my favorite books. I have gotten into audiobooks the last couple of years and I also love them.

If I had all the space the space in the world I would definitely stick to print. I love the feel and smell of books and the thrill of finding them. But I definitely have been reading more ebooks lately. Just because if the convenience
First choice is print. Ebooks aren't the same for me, though I love the ease and convenience of downloading a new book in the middle of the night if I need a new book. The biggest problem I have with them is when I finish a good book, I want to be able to put it in someone's hands and say, "You must read this! It's so good!" I usually give away books when I'm finished with them. If they come back to me, that's fine, but I like to send them out into the universe for others to enjoy. And that way my house doesn't get too overwhelmed with books. While I was recovering from my stroke and my vision was really messed up, I did audio books, which worked well at the time, and I've done audiobooks while on long car trips, but my favorite is paper, by far.
