A tablet lies on dry grass and surrounded by dandelions in a natural outdoor setting. The screen displays the cover of the book Everybody Is in the Place by Emma J. Gibbon. The cover features a colorful, fantastical illustration of a female figure with glowing eyes and curved horns, holding something mysterious in her hands. Stars and swirling cosmic elements fill the background, giving the cover a magical and otherworldly feel. The title text is in bold, colorful letters across the top and middle, with the author's name at the bottom.

[Book Blogger Hop] Print Books & eBooks

Book Blogger Hop Meme

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a β€œhop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.

For this week’s Book Blogger Hop question,  Elizabeth @ Silver’s Reviews  asked:

Have you made the switch from print to e-books? Is either one exclusive?

BBH My Answer

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?

    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 πŸ˜€

      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.

      Same here! I love snagging a book I’ve been meaning to read for 99 cents on Amazon! πŸ™‚

    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 πŸ™‚

    I’m more of an ebook reader now… Recently, I’ve started listening to audiobooks in the car too. I’m liking that.

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

    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.

    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.
