Both! It depends on what book I want from the library.
I tend to get paperbacks as they are cheaper, if I need to purchase any books.

So you listen to audio books then ?Nope, it's all digital for me. I read braille, and the only way to get braille books in hard cover is from the library for the blind, or you can pay a company to emboss it for you. Also, a normal book can take three to four volumes the size of encyclopedias. Or I can have a braille display that hooks via bluetooth, and I have access to almost any book I want.
I do audiobooks and ebooks both. I have a braille display, which is like a keyboard with braille dots at the bottom, sorry, that description sucks. Whatever is showing on my phone screen also shows up in braille on my display. That's also how I type here.So you listen to audio books then ?
I enjoy the feel of physical books over ebooks. E-readers are convenient if you don't have enough space in your home to dedicate to bookshelves. Nothing beats the sensory feel of real books, though. It makes me sad that I don't have the budget to get my own works printed yet. I also prefer softcover for most books that have it available.I cannot say how much even with deficit how much I enjoy a good book.
And I think using too much screens is bad for your eye sight and leads to eye strain
So I still love reading a real book.
Well now I went back to it.
Does anyone read real books anymore for leisure and enjoyment?
And to learn things?
That concept is so cool. From someone who still feels enthralled by the technology of sending a fax, your Braille display is amazing.I have a braille display, which is like a keyboard with braille dots at the bottom, sorry, that description sucks.

It is nice to read actual books.I'm still a big reader and if I have my choice then I want to go with a real paper book. My preference is the hardcover but for most things I typically get the paperback because it's hard to justify the cost on something I'm likely only going to read once. Books that I know I won't eventually get rid of though I do try to get the hard cover.
Tablets and E-readers have their place especially on vacation. Or in my case pdfs but they just don't have that feel of a book. And there is something about turning a real page. Or the smell of a book.
