I'm about half/half.  I mostly buy books but with limited space I tend to use audio and only buy books I really need.

I prefer reading a physical book. There are some books I want to read/own that are only in ebook format, so I use my Kindle for those. I'm not a huge fan of audiobooks, yet I've been listening to some lately, mostly Agatha Christie novels borrowed from the local library.

There's nothing like the feel of a book in hand, the smell of the paper, the experience of turning pages.

I prefer reading books to listening to them. I read actual books and on Kindle, but I prefer the paper kind.

I do both.I enjoy reading physical books,but I don't have time to read everything I want to,so I joined Audible and listen to a lot of books.Listen is faster and can be done while doing other things at the same time.

I love to read, but when I am on the road I love to listen to books.  I get a lot from our local library and like that you can put them on reserve for specific times when you know you will be traveling.

Reading. I get distracted too easily when listening to things.

I still buy books and read them. However I do have a few audio books on hand. mostly for my son who likes listening and following the words at the same time.

Depends on the book, but I prefer just reading.
