Print books still much more popular than e-books, audiobooks

Though Americans increasingly listen to audiobooks, print books remain the most popular format for reading.
We adore audiobooks! We listen to them in the vehicle, as we work around the house, and outside through earbuds while working. They turn tedious tasks into something to enjoy. ❤️
I love all 3 kinds! I always have going an audiobook, an e-book, a physical book downstairs, and a physical book bedside. I like variety and accessibility 😆
