Book Format: Audio vs Paper
It鈥檚 our first literary debate! Which is the superior way to consume books: audiobooks or paper books?
It鈥檚 our first literary 鈥� and marital 鈥� debate! Which is the superior way to consume books: audiobooks or paper books? Essayist and critic Maris Kreizman prefers to listen to her books while comedian Josh Gondelman wants to physically hold what he鈥檚 reading. And their job today is to convince Aminatou Sow to pick their preferred format. Maris loves that audiobooks allow her to multitask and thinks the reading experience can be enhanced when an author reads their own work aloud. Josh loves being forced to only focus on the words when he鈥檚 reading a book and wants to interpret the works for himself without someone else鈥檚 performance influencing him. Aminatou must consider the arguments on both sides and declare a winner in the battle between audiobooks and paper books.
