Man… That makes sense to me. I like the ebooks because I can adjust the font to the perfect size, and then I can really fly.
Makes sense - convenience factor.
Audiobooks arent more convenient?
You need headphones, I read a lot faster than they speak and they are a lot more expensive. The only time I listen to audio books is when traveling by car. Which I only do every couple of months.
I’d say no. They are more expensive, take up more space and you kinda need good headphones to listen in public. Even an old Kindle can store hundreds of ebooks.
You’re saying that people willing to buy and own a device dedicated to reading, read more than those who don’t? Shocking.
