Miscers who read books, do you read mostly physical books or do you read on a phone or a tablet?

I've been going back and forth on this. Reading physical books seems appealing in theory but in practice I find it hard to find a comfortable position

I can't read for long if it's not the physical book. With a physical book I can read for 2-3 hours and lose track of time. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

I’ve been a big reader my whole life.

For many years, it was just real books.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve shifted to where it’s probably 75% audiobooks.

I definitely feel like I’m losing some of this skill of patient reading.

I read all my books on my Kindle paperwhite. I love it. I can change the font depending on how tired my eyes are. At night when I read right before sleep I put it on big font. Bf makes fun of me and says he can read it from across the room. lol

I do both. Whenever I can't get the book as a physical copy, I'll get in on the tablet.
