This week's question is: Audio books vs Ebook? If the world stopped printing books which would you prefer between the two?
I think I would prefer ebook. I read a lot faster than most people can speak out loud unless you speed them up to sound like a chipmunk or something, and I just don't get as much out of them. Which is a little strange, since I listen to podcasts a ton. Maybe it's just the difference in how they're meant to be taken in. Podcasts are written to be read out loud and performed in a way books aren't.
Which isn't to say audiobooks can't enjoyable! They're just different mediums and wow, I shouldn't be blogging while I'm feeling under the weather.
Although to be fair, ebooks do take me a bit longer to read, too. But I really feel that I absorb more information from reading than solely from listening. Which to go back to podcasts, is why I don't listen to nonfiction ones.
How about you all?
Peace and cookies,

I definitely absorb more information when I read over listening. Similar to the reason I have to take notes if I want to remember a lecture or training. I do enjoy audiobooks from time to time, but ebooks work better for me. Have a great week!
