I prefer to read a book over listening to an audiobook as I feel my attention span is almost non existent when it comes to sitting and listening to audio stories. I get somewhat of a thrill when reading an actual book.
I think physical books offer a more immersive reading experience, as you can hold the book, turn pages, and even smell the paper.
Well, I prefer to read, because I love books and from my childhood time I have special relation with them.

I love this question! While audiobooks are fantastic for multitasking, I definitely prefer reading a physical book too! There’s just something magical about holding a book in your hands, flipping through the pages, and even enjoying that wonderful “book smell.” It feels more personal and immersive, like you’re diving into another world. Plus, it’s so satisfying to see your progress as you turn each page! What about you? Do you have a favorite book you’d recommend?
Definitely reading a physical book! I do however think listening to an audio book will help those who need help with pronunciation of words.
Hi It depends on my mood! Sometimes I do love reading English books, but with a good interpretation listening can be pleasant. Best Regards
I like both. Read an audio book while reading because it puts a voice on it.
Reading a physical book allows one to freely express how they are feeling at that moment, whenever I am reading a physical book and get to the happy part,I literally put the book down and jump up and down,then go back to the book.
Reading physical book
I am an Avid reader, I won our "most read books" medal every year in primary and high school (grades 0 - 12) . The smell, excitement, everything just invigorates my body about reading. To add, I am also a great listener, when it comes to audio books, I have tried, I am more partial to Podcasts when I am busy with multi-tasking.
After my son was born, I was so worried that I would never find time to read again. Then I discovered audiobooks! It was a gamechanger)) Now I can read (listen to) my books while doing something else, like housework, walking or driving.
