Does the genre of the book matter?

Can I choose 2? :) I love hardcover for fiction and audiobooks for nonfiction

@nastassia_k Sure, my choice also depends on the genre of the book. Hardcopies are for classics and limited editions, and ebooks and audio are great for business books, psychology, self-development, etc )
physical)
For the soul I prefer physical, but more often I use electronic
@sergeipetrov Exactly the same :) Physical books help relaxing and rebooting :)
When relaxing at home, I prefer hardcover books, but when I commute/travel, an ebook is so much more convenient!
@natalia_toth Totally, agree, esp when I travel and the baggage weight is limited ebooks always win ))
Digital audiobook 😂
Launching soon!
physical, because there is enough screen time during the day
@marvin_maendle Right you are, it is like an opportunity to switch and relax. Sometimes I also take album books on architecture and photography as a source of not only relaxation, but also inspiration)

I spend 8h in front of my laptop everyday, So in order to rest my eye I prefer audiobooks
@sentry_co Audiobooks is always an idea when you want to switch over or just to calm down and relax. Also podcasts help and even inspire sometimes :)
To relax - physical
To grab new content- digital
Audiobooks? To fall asleep in 0.001 sec

Always Physical (hardcover preferred :)
@ramitkoul Oh, cool, you might have an impressive home library!
Digital and audiobooks are certainly convenient, however, if I want to fully absorb the contents of a book, the quality of a physical book cannot be surpassed.

I like the aesthetics of physical books, their smell. Digital are cool too. But audiobooks are difficult for me to perceive, unfortunately. I don't know what the reason is 🤔
@nastya_leb Oh, exactly, the smell of paper within printing inks, esp just right away from the printing house - that is really smth :)

I want to vote for physical, but I've started seeing the merits of digital books in the last few years. Managing our large collection of books as we have shifted has become an arduous task.
@geetanjalishrivastava Yep, completely agree, if you move a lot and don't have your own place it is hard to collect physical library, and in this case - ebooks are a great plus, they are always with you in the phone, and you can get back to them whenever you want to :)
Launching soon!
Definitely physical, just the feeling having something in your hand and the smell of the book 😅
Launching soon!
physical …bcoz of my profession (graphic designer) i always prefer to take a break from digital world.
