How do you read your KJ Charles?

[vae]

Are you an e-reader only reader? Does it have to be paperback for you? Do you like an audiobook (and if so, who's your favourite KJC audio narrator?

I think I have everything in e-reader format (my preferred is Kindle, yes, I do know Amazon is evil), but I also have nearly everything that's available in paperback because sometimes I just want the physical feeling of a book in my hands. My kindle is more convenient and more anonymous, though, if I don't want someone to know exactly what I'm reading.

I also love an audioboook - though nearly always with headphones, otherwise someone's guaranteed to come into the room where I'm listening just as Silas gets that comb out... I adore Matthew Lloyd Davies' narration, but I'm also fond of Cornell Collins. I think the only audiobook I didn't enjoy was Gilded Cage, for some mispronunciations that made me cringe.

I think the only audio I have is Seditious Affair (no I just checked and I have Gentleman's Position as well). I love, love, love it, and I don't often like explicit stuff in audio.

Everything else I have in ebook! Split between Nook and Kindle, which is frustrating but I'm not going to rebuy the books to put them all in one library or the other I gueeeess.

aaah I so miss nook over here! I loved it but didn't have time to buy much before it ended in the UK.

Two ebook libraries take up much less space than all the books in paperback.

I mostly read in ebook (Kindle) these days, although I do still like to own a physical copy as well sometimes. I have a couple of KJC books in physical copy and I want to get the Magpies with the new silhouette covers in paperback, but I haven't bought them yet.

I don't listen to audiobooks at all - I can't follow them, I don't get what's going on and I quickly start to tune out what I'm hearing.

<3 I never bought the old Magpies in paperback, but I now have a full set of the silhouette ones - I got Rag & Bone as a midwinter gift!

I'm a Kindler, too. Amazon may be evil but I like being able to set the font size to suit my crappy eyesight. I'd like to think I'm over caring what people think about what I'm reading but I'm sure there must be circumstances where I'd welcome them not knowing.

I'm not sure about audiobooks. It so depends on the quality of the reading - not just the way the story is told technically, but also on the reader's voice.

Absolutely agreed on audiobooks. I discovered I didn't get on with the reader for the Cat Sebastian ones, which made me sad. Thank goodness Audible has samples (even if you're not buying from Audible).

I mostly use e-books, but I bought the Magpie Lord books in paperback in case I ever table flip on Amazon or they stop Kindle support or something else funky happens.

Last time my Kindle broke they'd only replace it if I accepted one that plays ads. Nope nope nope. I bought a used one which has worked for years, but I think it's at the end of it's lifespan.

I live in fear of the day that Kindle stops being a thing, and that's probably why I buy paperbacks of the books I most treasure whenever I can. If only I could get the Society of Gentlemen books in paperback!
