How do you prefer to consume your books?

I prefer treebooks, the smell of paper and the sensation of flipping through the pages are irreplaceable.

I like ebooks because, well, they can be downloaded for free, and I don't exactly have money for much else.

Growing up the only option was treebooks so of course that is familiar.

I gotta say though, reading on my phone is nice. Turn on night mode for yellow light. Use the white text on black background to keep it dim. Plus my progress is saved and synced.

And you are right about that bedtime reading. I can read without disturbing the wife and that is huge. I wouldn't read nearly as much if I couldn't read on my phone.

I've been curious about audio books though. I've mostly used the bus for commuting but I'll be moving in a bit over a month and will be driving after that. Might be time to check them out.

Personally am a paperback man myself, but for textbooks I use a pdf copy because I hate hauling them around.

treeboks, but on how to "consume them"

In my experience to properly understand any dense book you should go at it twice, the first time should be a very broad general overview of it sort of like skimming with list of questions or general thoughts. Second time around go through it with a comb and find out everything you didn't understand and try to work out its meaning

I find that's the best way to truly "consume" a book

With spaghetti and cheese, but I prefer to read them instead.
