Real books are my go to choice when I am at home, but if I am commuting or on holiday I take my kindle as it is easier to transport. If I love a book on my kindle sometimes I buy a paperback version to add to my collection!

Real books. I get tired of staring at screens all the time and I find it hard to appreciate and process audiobooks. I like the feel of paper and studying the word choice and writing style of the book.

Both ebooks and physical books. I use ebooks when I want a portable library but also to save space on my bookshelves. If I buy a physical book it’s either something I really love or know I will love or non-fiction. Real books help me to get away from screens but ebooks give more flexibility – I can read in the dark without disturbing my partner or on transport (also means I can read romance novels without judgement!!). It’s definitely context specific.
