Doing finishing touches for my book, which is now past all external editing. I'm doing the author's final edit/checkup, cover, getting it into the right format for publication, etc.

Some questions for the community:

-Do you prefer hardcover, paperback, or ebook?

-For hardcover or paperback, do you care about the physical dimensions of a book? eg do you prefer a 5.5"x8.5" thicc book or a 7"x10" thinner book?

-For those that like audio books, would you prefer to read the book physically or electronically rather than listen to it, if it had a lot of images?

Congrats, looking forward to it. if(hardcover) { for me = “thicker book”; } else if (electronic) { for me = “audio”; } else { for me = “I’ll buy whatever #[1]​ decides “ }

These are all great questions. When I was younger and took the train, I did most of my reading during commute with paperback books that were smaller in size and would fit in the inner pocket of my coat. Larger pages make for less creasing of the binding but end up keeping a hand occupied or needi...

Hard cover always for me..Don’t mind the dimensions

I'd say hardcover - dimensions thinner - for an audio with a lot of images would likely need to be read vs. audio. However nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev would have to be the voice of a read.

If physical, softcover for reading, but hardcover for showing off. 7x10 If digital, prefer audiobook (preferably narrated by the author).

I'll be getting hardcover, audio and ebook. I switch a lot between mediums.
[ARCHIVED] Jay · 164w
I prefer audiobooks because I'm dyslexic. But I like getting the hardcovers of books that I want to read with my crappy eyes, and I guess I like smaller, but chonkier ones.

I like hardcover for the shelf. Paperback to read, but I'll probably read the ebook to be fair. I find myself drifting into other thoughts listening to an audio.. Sorry this answer was no help to you.
Bartholomeus · 164w
I’ll buy your ebook👍

I love the looks of physical books but for actual reading¹ I use ebooks. ¹ that is: for serial beginning-to-end reading, if I have to flip back and forth a lot then a physical book is preferred

QuackingKahuna · 164w
Hello Lyn, your book read by Peter from "What BTC did" would be the most appealing form to me.

Hardcover with dimensions based on the golden mean.

I usually do audiobook first and then buy hardcover if its outstanding. Having followed your content for a while, I may jump ahead straight to buying the hardcover :)
Stan Katczinsky · 164w
Very excited to read your book. I prefer paperback, but love to have the option of an audio book as well for when I'm on the road.
Stan Katczinsky · 164w
When it comes to dimensions, especially when it has a lot of images, I'd prefer a thinner book with bigger dimensions
