Audiobooks don’t keep my interest. I need to read a book to be able to visualise people and scenes. That’s just a me problem.

eBooks on the other hand are no different than reading hard-copy books, and sometimes even better (portability, low-light conditions, being able to adjust font size).

I have hundreds of paper books that I haven’t read, I’m working my way through them (in shifts, I also read ebooks), but I won’t buy an ebook if I already have a physical copy. Read what you have, save yourself some money. Don’t buy a reader until you need one, if you can’t afford it.
