I use all three. I prefer an actual hard back book, because I find it easier to go back and refresh for clarity. Ebooks are useful for traveling. I love listening to audiobooks for boring or monotonous activities, such as: housework, driving, applying makeup, waiting in the doctor or dentist office.

@templetongate @bibliolater I prefer e-ink books over hardcopy almost always, too. I mainly read novels, so illustrations and jumping back and forth aren't issues. Hardcopy I find more awkward to hold, too, particularly in bed, plus no back light ~ and if you hold your finger down on an unfamiliar word it doesn't pop up with the definition and etymology 🤣

The #Danish prepositions "af" and "ad" are both usually pronounced [æ] and have been so for over 100 years - but are still written diffferently to this day.
"Af" is probably as wide in meaning as English "of", "ad" is more restricted, in meaning close to "along, at, to".
@templetongate @bookstodon I know the feeling about some small print and eyesight, I wear reading glasses; however, I prefer printed #books.

@bibliolater @bookstodon Electronic books for the most part, either those I have bought or through the library. I read some in print, but my aging eyes appreciate being able to enlarge the font of an ebook.

@Rhube @bookstodon I favour physical #books as well and my count for #audiobooks was just one in the last year.
In the last year which of the following platforms have you used the most for accessing #books?
#Poll #Fiction #NonFiction #Book #Ebook #Ebooks #Audiobook #Audiobooks #Bookstodon @bookstodon
@zleap I did have a look at Peertube but could not really find what I was looking for with ease.

Could have a look at peer tube, it is decentralised so depending on interest there may be a specific instance with the content you are looking for
@1dalm Thank you. I have had a cursory look at the site and it looks like what I was after.
@1dalm I would say mostly #documentaries and videos related to #knowledge whether that be from the #sciences or the #humanities.
@hexaheximal I agree I do not think it would federate.
@hexaheximal Do I need to change the #poll to allow for that option?

@bibliolater mostly notifications actually 🥴
@jorgecandeias A #poll did not cross my mind; but, since you mentioned it I think I should take the opportunity to conduct my first #poll on #Mastodon.

@bibliolater That calls for a poll.
