"Kindle, ebooks, audible or watching a video about it? "
A physical book is preferable. I love "earning the right" to flip each page as complete reading. Also, sounds bizarre, but I love the smell of books/publications.
Kindle for portability depending whether away from home etc. |

a book every time,,
no film made has been as good as the book
if you leave a book by accident in a pub it will still be there 30 mins later where a kindle or tablet will have gone,,
you can lend a book to a friend while reading another book but you cannot lend them your kindle and read another book on it at the same time.. |

A book every time. I could be tempted to an audio book for a long drive if the narrator had a good voice. I cant read on a kindle I get no atmosphere from it, it feels to much like reading the internet. |

I love a physical book. These last couple of years I’ve converted to kindle, it’s a lot cheaper and less space needed for my reading. Plus taken to audio this year, when suffered with eye problems. Soothes me to sleep most evenings without the bruises from a book |

"Kindle/phone book. "
I’d rather read a kindle than a phone book, there’s too many numbers in a phone book  (sorry couldn’t resist)
Jokes aside I have a kindle but do tend to use my phone for reading more which is probably not good for my eyes. There’s nothing like a proper book though.
Started last night trying to get into audio books but haven’t found the right ones I think. The narrators voices are not working for me. |

I’ve been lucky and only had to do that once. A John Grisham book I just couldn’t listen to the Deep South American monotone drawl. |

I like the sensory experience of reading paper books, touch, smell etc
But have learned to love kindle books (kindle, phone tablet app) being able to carry hundreds of my favourite books in my pocket, ready for anytime I have a couple of minutes to spare. |

A physical book is a special experience, but traveling with a kindle is a good, and convenient, second choice. An audio book is a different experience, which can also be extremely satisfying. Same with documentaries, where you can share the experience with others. I guess being fab members, it's all about sharing, so maybe documentaries are more appropriate here?  |

Reading a physical book! Defo more relaxing.
Anything on a screen is work related or social media!
Maybe its more environmentally friendly and space saving to have a e device to read on but i much prefer a physical book. No battery required |

1st books
2nd audiobooks - great when travelling
3rd kindle - format just doesn’t appeal but perhaps as a late adopter hard to shift from physical books. |

Books. Just the physical act of reading them, turning pages etc.
Also like my CD or DVD collection they're kinda apart of the furniture, I like being surrounded by my stuff |

I hate reading physical books nowadays.
They're crap to hold. They don't light up at night. You can never find the one you want. Take up loads of space. And despite people going on about the 'smell of old books' they actually reek.
Apart from recipe books. They're still best as books. |
