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.

Love paper books, but audiobooks have converted me. I love being able to do chores and listen to a story

Paper, outdoors.

Never had an e-reader, usually I read physical books or on a regular screen, so I guess, paper books?

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.

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.

  1. Audiobooks
  2. Paper (with nightlight)
  3. Ebook

Paper. I don't fuck with pdfs and audio books are a crime against nature
