personally i prefer digital... cough im broke and i find the pdfs cough. (｡>﹏<) but it helps me see whether or not i actually like a book before i commit to buying a physical copy! also, it's a lot easier to js pull smth up on your phone/laptop rather than carry a heavy book around. let me know ur thoughts! ( ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ഒ
i like physical! i concentrate way more when I can actually hold something
It actually depends on what I'm reading and when!! Like, obviously fanfics are on my phone or just online in general--I also want to get into audiobooks for more complicated books and so that I don't keep abandoning books.
BUT
I'm also a book hoarder, and I love the feel of a book in my hands, so I love a good physical book as well, especially for when I need that sort of level of concentration on a book. It just sort of depends on if I can do that or not... gulp
Yap over guys...
I have to confess I much prefer physical books even though they're not good at all for my wallet!! :'] I think I tend to strain my eyes when i read digitally, and something about the smell of books, being able to turn pages... its just so peak
They both have their purposes. Physical books are nice if I'm reading at home and digital books are nice if I'm traveling.

Physical. I like the feeling of holding a book, of turning the pages. Plus, less time spent with a screen.
i thought so, but no. lol
its more satisfying but i finish digital books way faster.
I 100% prefer physical books but for comics or manga I don't mind reading them digitally
Definitely physical, staring at a screen that long makes my eyes hurt and gives me a headache
I'll definitely take the hard copies of reading books! So much easier on the eyes!
I spend the time and money to collect physical copies of my favorites, but otherwise I typically read digital as per the excessive availability.
Support your local libraries and independent bookstores. Please.
i love physical! i love bending my books and writing in them :) they are my books, they smell like me, they are bent the way i want them to be.
But i dont hate reading a manga online, you gotta do what you gotta do
I’m personally very fond of reading physical books. I’ve read multiple e-books before, and I still read them until now. It’s very convenient when I’m outside… but I can’t focus well when I’m reading books or any long texts on a digital screen. It hurts my eyes :7
Personally I prefer reading physical books. I like the hands on feel and the idea that i can take it places and read anywhere I go. This goes for all things as well I just like to own everything physically.
I prefer physical books, but it does suck how expensive they can be! But I find I lose my place a lot reading digitally, and I struggle to focus + it hurts my eyes.
Replying to @Kommando Mutiliid
(post is on page 1):
“I fly a lot for work, and sadly books are bit too cumbersome on flights. I like to read on the plane and when waiting at my gate, so I've resorted to digit...”
@Kommando Mutiliid Stash a little booklet of hyme's in your cockpit my friend! A clean pallet of poetry over skies must be a beautiful thing to keep on mind. Perhaps a passage per flight for your safe travels; If you do not, then I will in your place. Travels be with you and still waters to rise up to meet you in your landings.
I prefer physical books. Listening to audiobooks is very distracting for me. Plus, physical books have a certain type of magic that lets me immerse myself into its world.
I love physical books! I like seeing my collection and having a sense of ownership :)
