This came up in a convo with friends + family and now I’d love to know your POV. (:

Growing up, I only read physical books; not by choice, just because that was all I had. E-readers were expensive, digital reading wasn’t accessible (and was/still kind of is frowned upon), and libraries? Mostly closed (public) or academic-focused (private/school).

Now? I’m almost 100% digital. 🩷✨

I mainly read on my Kobo (e-books) and have recently gotten into audiobooks (unpopular opinion: I love cinematic audiobooks that feel like a movie in your brain). Digital is cheaper, comfier, and easier on my hands. I read more, faster, better, and honestly, it made me fall even more in love with reading.

Do I miss physical books? Yeah. ): The smell, the shelf, the vibes. But I love highlighting without stress, undoing mistakes, customizing my library, and carrying hundreds of books wherever I go.

So here’s the question: What’s your go-to format? 👀 Physical books (hardcover/softcover)? E-book (Kobo/Kindle/iPad)? Audiobooks? Or a mix?

Has your format changed over time? Do you think it affects how much or how happily you read?

It was actually only a few days ago when I was aimlessly clicking around on my account (bored and in public, you know how it is) and ended up on one tab that said that I didn't have any saved posts... my first reaction was of course: that's a thing?! Although I did immediately forget afterwards about it until today, when I was looking at a club post asking for recs and thinking "wow... so many recs worth checking out that I don't have time to. If only there was some way I could bookma-...!!!" And so, today marks the first time of me actually using this feature <3 Did anybody else straight up not realize this was a thing lol? It's an awesome feature for sure!

now more than ever, i’m someone who finds it impossible not to jump between books. sometimes i’ll find a book that’s like a black hole for me, and i’ll be completely absorbed by it, but usually i have between 3 and 5 books on my roster at any one time. normally, one of these will be an audiobook, with at least one physical book and at least one e-book, so they also serve somewhat different purposes. what about you? do you read multiple books at once? and if so, are they across different mediums?
