You can take your time when you are reading books. Very different experience from listening. 

Listening can be exhausting sometimes too, and I tend to limit my listening time to around max. 20min

Reading tends to allow you to absorb information faster than listening. 

Personally, my perception absolutely does not work for me when listening:))))) I am in favor of physical books.

Yes, it feels more real with physical books. You can also take notes and choose when to stop reading to meditate on the words you've read.

You don't get that time With audiobooks but there are some audiobooks that don't require full attention

I usually listen to audiobooks when going for a quick walk or going to the groceries.

Something about physical books has stopped me from trying audiobooks, the smell, flipping pages etc.
I really want to try them but I feel like with listening, one’s attention is always in motion and you’ll miss out on so much info

Smell of books is 👌
Ah yes! Good use case of audio reading in bed.

These days, I use Audiobooks when I go for groceries or a walk.

My lower back pain stops me from reading in bed 🥲

That makes more sense. We play kid stories when they are about to nap or sleep

Depends on title
I rather to listen to novels

The only audiobooks that I listen to are Harry Potter
I like reading more
But I don't buy books much, mostly the free downloads or second hand ones

If I have enough time I rather read physical books
But audiobooks are such time savers

I prefer physical books, they demand your full attention however. Audiobooks is a good alternative, if you can't fully focus, e.g. while cleaning the house, driving a car
