Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a βhopβ. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.
For this weekβs Book Blogger Hop question, Elizabeth @ Silver’s Reviews asked:
Have you made the switch from print to e-books? Is either one exclusive?
I wouldn’t say I’ve made a complete switch, and I don’t think I ever will, but I do own a Kindle paperwhite!
Personally, I love diving into a story in any format whether that is physical, ebook, or audiobook.
I also really love having the opportunity to switch it up! For example, I’ll read one physical book, then the next will be an ebook, then I’ll bounce back to a physical book.
I’ve also usually got an audiobook going so I can ingest more stories while I am drive to and from work, or cleaning the house.
Thanks for reading!
Do you also switch it up or do you prefer one version over the other?
Angela says
I have not even tried ebooks yet! I suppose some day I will, but for now, I love my paper books. I do audio in the car, too!

I like my e-readers and use them for cheap books and trying new authors but all my favourite books I buy in paperback! I love the smell, the whisper of pages turning and the pretty covers! So I use both! I’ll never totally switch over to ebooks!

I use the same combination: printed book home, e-book in transport and audio on walks. Works for me, so I read more than before, when I read only printed books.
Here is my post

Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, to say the truth, my eyes hurt more while reading e-books so your method is better… but no audio books for me (for now, if my sight will deteriorate I will switch to them but not for now…) Have a nice week end π

Oh! That’s an interesting comment! I’ve found that occasionally when I read ebooks as well! Especially after a long day of staring at a screen already, sometimes the backlighting on my kindle is too much and I have to turn it off.

I do ebooks, print and audio. I find a lot of great ebooks on the cheap with amazon so I think that helps.
Erica Robyn says
Same here! I love snagging a book I’ve been meaning to read for 99 cents on Amazon! π

I am definitely more of a physical book person but I do read ebooks a lot too and love that I fly through them very quickly. But if I loved an ebook I will then go and buy a physical copy π

π It’s always fun to have your favorites displayed on a shelf!
Nicci @ Sunny Buzzy Books says
I’m more of an ebook reader now… Recently, I’ve started listening to audiobooks in the car too. I’m liking that.
Erica Robyn says
Listening to audiobooks in the car certainly makes a commute go faster!! π
Heather @ Heather's Reading Hideaway says
I am the same!! The more ways for me to digest all of my favorite books the better! π <3

I’m pretty much the same; I swap and change between the two forms.

Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum says
I too am a lover of all book formats! Doesn’t matter if it’s print, digital, or audio, each has its purpose and place, imo, depending on where I am and what I’m doing.
Erica Robyn says
Agreed!! π
Suzanne @ The Bookish Libra says
Like you, I tend to switch it up between print, e-books, and more recently, audiobooks. I really do love the portability of the ebooks, but print books will always have my heart so I can’t give those up.
