SkynJay Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Print, e-reader AND audio!!! I honestly don't care, whichever I can find a copy in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marquis de Leech Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Print. I don't have an e-reader. I can (and do) read old public domain stuff online, but I much prefer a physical copy when at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRider Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Kill some trees and put a damn book in my hands. Then all is well with the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I prefer paper but mostly stick to ebook these days for practical reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello World Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Ebooks on my 5 inch Android phone. Print books are too much of a hassle to read nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Ebooks, but if I enjoy the book I will by a Hardback copy for the bookshelve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I prefer print. I like holding the book, smelling it, the physical object. And it just feels like it's easier to read than from a screen, though that may just be bias from my side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Used to be print but I slowly came around to ebooks. Nowadays, all my reading is done on an E-reader or phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Prefer print books but readers are far more practical for reading on the go and for people who live in homes with limited space, or who move around a lot. I can't imagine lugging around all the books I have on my ereader with me every time I move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, particularly with spec-fic. Once I've read the book in print I like re-reading on audiobooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Did someone say cuneiform yet? That's usually a page 1 joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I prefer to have my books read to me by a chorus of nubile sex-starved sycophants. As that option is currently unavailable, and I spend two or more hours a day commuting on a subway, I do 95% of my reading on my phone. Reading a hardback from the library is a rare and happy option.

Contrarius+ Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Audio! Second, ebook -- usually on my laptop, only occasionally on my Kindle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertrude Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I might have been a little hasty when I said e-reader. There is something very satisfying about holding a physical book and all that goes with it. However, when I factor in all the benefits of electronic, it wins hands-down, If there was an e-reader that figured out how to put e-ink on paper, I'd be all over that. Since there is not, all in all, e-readers are how I roll. I don't like to read on tablets or phones, def prefer e-ink, with a dim backlight, thank you. If I were one of those people who bought hardcovers and prized the actual physical book, no matter what it is, I might feel different, but most of my reading was done via mass-market paperbacks that I beat all to hell and lost and loaned out, etc. I do have books I prize and they get a place on the bookshelf, but most of my reading material is disposable to me. Not that I get rid of it when I'm done, just that the medium through which the story is delivered is not important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bought a mass market paperback in some time. Ultimately, I think mass market paperbacks will be supplanted by eReaders in the near term.
