Advantages to both, although I'm more into the paper sort. And given I don't like carrying around anything electronic with any size, I don't have an eReader yet. Any of these have the voice reading option as well (audiobook) - given I might prefer this? And a well-known female voice as to audiobooks was in my class at school. o_O

Depends, if it's a serious work that i want to learn from a paper book for sure.
If it's a novel either will do

Paper books have gotten harder &
harder to read over the years.
I used to read them without glasses.
Now even those things vex me.
So I'm considering E books.

They also have electronic pens that read paperbooks outloud for you I've considered getting.

Neither albeit I do like paper. No power no batteries required and it looks good on a shelf.

My second choice is audiobooks. Great for multitasking.
Now that I have a computer that actually has decent speakers, I've contemplated letting audiobooks play while I clean...

It can be hard for me not to tune stuff playing out, though. So, it may end up being somewhat of a meditative practice, too...

It does. I listen to audio books at my workplace. Helps the day go by as I work a 10 hour shift.
