Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.
Question:
Audiobooks vs. E-books? If the world stopped printing books which would you prefer between the two? (submitted by Angela @ Paperback Princess)
Answer:
This is such an interesting question. Normally it's e-books vs. physical copies. I haven't had this question before! So, I think both are amazing. I use both quite frequently. However, when I listen to audiobooks I tend to also read the book. I like reading and listening at the same time it helps me stay really focused (I get distracted easily) and slows my speed-reading down. So I'd have to pick e-books.
I don't think I could read while listening... I read so much faster than the audiobooks so it'd annoy the ever loving heck out of me.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way. I typically have it on 1.5 or 2 times speed haha.
DeleteI guess you could say I read and listen when my daughter is reading to me. LOL Seriously though, I haven't tried listening to an audiobook while reading it. Maybe I should give that a try . . . I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt really helps me when it comes to focusing and taking everything in! It's probably my favorite way to read!! I highly recommend :)
DeleteI picked ebooks, as well. :)
ReplyDeleteWhile there are great narrators out there, I actually like the text-to-speech voice. (Odd, I know!)
I haven't used the text-to-speech function!! I should totally give it a try.
