Does the genre of the book matter?

I spend 8h in front of my laptop everyday, So in order to rest my eye I prefer audiobooks

@sentry_co Audiobooks is always an idea when you want to switch over or just to calm down and relax. Also podcasts help and even inspire sometimes :)
Digital audiobook 😂
@peterblack The book is always at hand, yep!
I want to vote for physical, but I've started seeing the merits of digital books in the last few years. Managing our large collection of books as we have shifted has become an arduous task.
@geetanjalishrivastava Yep, completely agree, if you move a lot and don't have your own place it is hard to collect physical library, and in this case - ebooks are a great plus, they are always with you in the phone, and you can get back to them whenever you want to :)
For the soul I prefer physical, but more often I use electronic
@sergeipetrov Exactly the same :) Physical books help relaxing and rebooting :)
physical …bcoz of my profession (graphic designer) i always prefer to take a break from digital world.

Can I choose 2? :) I love hardcover for fiction and audiobooks for nonfiction
@nastassia_k Sure, my choice also depends on the genre of the book. Hardcopies are for classics and limited editions, and ebooks and audio are great for business books, psychology, self-development, etc )

physical)
@maria_anosova I also like hardcopies and wanna collect a home library when I have my own house :)
Definitely physical, just the feeling having something in your hand and the smell of the book 😅
@julia_engelsmann Right, the tactility is also very important to me :)
physical, because there is enough screen time during the day
@marvin_maendle Right you are, it is like an opportunity to switch and relax. Sometimes I also take album books on architecture and photography as a source of not only relaxation, but also inspiration)
@natalie_ermishina totally agree!
When relaxing at home, I prefer hardcover books, but when I commute/travel, an ebook is so much more convenient!
@natalia_toth Totally, agree, esp when I travel and the baggage weight is limited ebooks always win ))
Digital and audiobooks are certainly convenient, however, if I want to fully absorb the contents of a book, the quality of a physical book cannot be surpassed.
@sreenington I also read and grab the info from paper pages better than from digital and audio :)
