Audio books and E-books

Audio books. Some folks do not count these as truly reading a book. Others find it easier than reading a book because they can have it on their phone, and it is more accessible. Outside of audio books, e-readers and e-books are also popular. E-readers were once extremely popular when they first came out. It is an easy way to carry multiple books with you without the weight or hassle of real books, especially on vacation. However, an increase in physical books is on the rise. In the U.S., where 75% of people aged 18 to 29 claimed to have read a physical book in 2017, higher than the average of 67%, according to Pew Research, Handley, 2019.

I enjoy both audio books and physical books. I use audio books when I am walking or on my commute to work. I ready physical books at home and when on vacation. I also read e-books on my phone, that way I always have a book with me. But if I had to chose only one form I would stick with the physical book.
