Just discovered BorrowBox

I like reading, so am not bothered whether it's from a paper book or an e-book. As Molly says, Kindles are great for portability, and I like reading novels on them, whereas I don't like them for cookbooks or poetry - I think there is definitely room for both.

I used to enjoy audiobooks when I commuted every day; but now that I don't use public transport so much I find it difficult to concentrate on them, as there is always something else I could be doing. I prefer to read, all things being equal, as audiobooks give the narrator's interpretation of what's going on, and I like to decide that for myself. Like Luckygirl, I have a dyslexic daughter who gets a lot of pleasure from them, though. She started with Stephen Fry reading the Harry Potter books when she was a child, and has listened to audiobooks ever since.

Am I the only one who still prefers a proper book?

I can only speak for myself, but since my early/mid fifties, I really struggle to focus my eyes on a book for long, especially in the evening.
Audio books have been a godsend for me!
