I apologize if I haven't seen it in another comment, but there is a category missing (sort of, let me quickly explain).
I like reading books from my phone with a dark theme (inverted colors). It's not exactly an e-reader, though it is electronic.
I don't claim it's the best way, it's just very convenient because of (former Reddit)/(now Lemmy) addiction to using my phone to read about cool stuff.
It's particularly handy before sleeping or when commuting
Edit: added last sentence
i like all three. do i have to pick?
E-books and e-readers all the way! All my teenage years I was reading on a e-reader.
I broke mine couple of months ago and I will probably buy an replacement with my next paycheck.
I prefer paper but I’m happy to have my kobo while traveling!
I prefer paper books but listen to more audiobooks because commute time is down time already.
I want the physical book for the shelf but I read the ebook on my smartphone. Way more convenient for me.
ebooks first. i'll text-to-speech it most of the times but the text being there helps so i can attach my annotations. if the book is brilliant, i'll buy a physical copy and install it in my growing library. this year though, i got a little risky and bought my first quarter of the year TBR all paper books. EXPENSIVE!
What do you use for TTS? I'm interested in both a service that'll turn a PDF into an audiobook and that reads a document line-by-line. I use Librera for the latter but the FOSS voices available on F-Droid leave a lot to be desired.
I fuckin hate reading. Audio books all the way.
I'd prefer paper, but having moved so many times I just can't bring myself to own hardcopies unless I know someone who would like the book. So it's E-reader unless driving, then audiobook.
I have an executive function disorder, so while reading my mind likes to work on things that are not related to what I'm reading.
So books/eReaders don't really work for me, it's just far too difficult to actually get through something. So I stick to audio books.
Though, audio books tend to put me to sleep.
Never had an e-reader, usually I read physical books or on a regular screen, so I guess, paper books?
Paper. I don't fuck with pdfs and audio books are a crime against nature
