I want the physical book for the shelf but I read the ebook on my smartphone. Way more convenient for me.

I read ebooks because they're more portable, I can read them on my phone instead of doing the old social media counterpoint all day. I have signed up for several digital library cards with fake addresses so I can access more books, lol, and I also buy ebooks with survey money, so all the free books! I read about 10 books a week.
Never had an e-reader, usually I read physical books or on a regular screen, so I guess, paper books?
- Audiobooks
- Paper (with nightlight)
- Ebook
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.
I fuckin hate reading. Audio books all the way.
ebook on my phone from random website
Paper. I don't fuck with pdfs and audio books are a crime against nature
