All of them, but if I had an order.

E-Books for series I like and for day to day reading

Audiobooks for series which I want read to me

And Physical Book for series I adore and want the complete physical set.

Paper

Audiobooks. The quality varies and has peaked with Stephen Fry's Harry Potter reading, but being able to read a book while working is great. Paper books are just a waste of space and resources.

I spend a lot of time driving, audiobooks are the way to go

I'm a book sniffer. Give me your yellowed pages, your dimpled and pawed over covers, your cracked spines, your taped up paperbacks, your pages coming undone, I'll hold it all together, I don't care. I actually like it

me: audiobook.
Wife: E-reader.

I can't read book on my phone or tablet so I need paper books but I like audio books when I can't read and just want to listen

Ever since moving abroad, it's been e-readers for me. Couldn't haul my book collection around, and didn't feel like buying it all again.

Ebooks. I like to listen to music while reading and Morgan Freeman doesn't narrate enough of my preferred texts.

I usually read an epub file on my phone while listening to the audiobook at the same time.

Since the word "read" doesn't actually mean anything these days, I just read the movies on Netflix.

Whichever one lets you read the most, which for me can change

My preference is Hardback > Paperback > Ebook as a last resort.

Ereaders, because I can get classic works for free from public archives.

My tech dream. Imagine a blank book. Pages look, smell, and feel like paper. Insert a disc into the cover, and text appears on the pages. You can change the text as many times as you want.

Niche item, I know, but I can dream.

Osmosis

I prefer paper but I’m happy to have my kobo while traveling!

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

Paper, outdoors.

Audio books let me capitalize on the strengths of my ADHD.

E-books and e-readers all the way! All my teenage years I was reading on a e-reader.

I broke mine couple of months ago and I will probably buy an replacement with my next paycheck.

Paper, but I love the convenience of e-books on my phone; I'm never without a book.

Edit: And since my phone is waterproof, I can read in the bath, or while washing dishes!

Audiobooks allow me to stoll through the park while drinking coffee and listening to the story. Or for fantastic visualization, driving across the country with an audiobook offers little visual distraction. Basically they let me do mundane but necessary things while "reading".

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.

I prefer paper books but listen to more audiobooks because commute time is down time already.

i like all three. do i have to pick?

ebooks first. i'll text-to-speech it most of the times but the text being there helps so i can attach my annotations. if the book is brilliant, i'll buy a physical copy and install it in my growing library. this year though, i got a little risky and bought my first quarter of the year TBR all paper books. EXPENSIVE!

I apologize if I haven't seen it in another comment, but there is a category missing (sort of, let me quickly explain).

I like reading books from my phone with a dark theme (inverted colors). It's not exactly an e-reader, though it is electronic.

I don't claim it's the best way, it's just very convenient because of (former Reddit)/(now Lemmy) addiction to using my phone to read about cool stuff.

It's particularly handy before sleeping or when commuting
