Paper.
Ebooks are a tolerable alternative if there is no paper available.
I'm a fairly fast reader so audiobooks are way too slow paced for me and I don't like when they attempt to put emotions into their readings it always comes off as too inauthentic.
But that's just me, I'm a picky reader.
I also prefer paper but I've been doing audiobooks lately because I can still do chores, garden, or exercise while "reading."
I'm also picky about narrators. There are audiobooks I really want to listen to but just can't enjoy them because the narrator sucks. That said, if you're into sci-fi, I highly recommend The Expanse audiobooks and novellas narrated by Jefferson Mays.
