There are 3 formats of books, as we all know: physical, ebook, and audiobook. There are times and places where we can use one or more of the book formats, and hopefully this post will help you discern and prepare for those moments.
Physical books. They tend to be the preference among readers. However, there is a time and place for physical books. If you're at home, or relaxing in any other place that doesn't require much attention from you (such as a line, driving, and a wait, in some situations), those are good places to have access to whatever physical book(s) you're reading. If you're a passenger in a transportation vehicle (car, bus, train, etc.) and don't get motion sick, then that is also a good time to have a physical book on hand. (However, you should know to not read a physical book if you're the driver.) Places like beaches and pools are also good places to have a physical book for reading, if you take the proper precautions to take care of your books.
Electronic books, usually referred to as ebooks. Ebooks tend to be useful in most of the same situations as physical books are. It's easier to have an ebook for a wait - like in a line or for an appointment - if you have something like the Kindle app on your phone or iPad. It can be easy to carry around your phone or iPad over a physical book, and ebooks tend to be easier to have when you're not at home.
Audiobooks. Audiobooks, whether through Audible or another streaming service, are the easiest to have on hand when you're not at home. All you need is the app on your phone, and you have easy access to audiobooks. Audiobooks are great reading sources, and you can use them when you're in the car driving, or if you get motion sick but still want to read on a transportation vehicle. They can also be useful for when you're doing activities that don't require much attention, like exercise, laundry, or the dishes.
