Physical Book or eBook?
eBook. Unless it is not available, or the book format works better on paper. But I much prefer e.
Audio book or book in hand?
Both. I can’t pay attention to an audio book very well so all my serious reading is book-in-hand but I do listen to audio books a lot, usually things I’ve already read, and especially things that benefit from good readers like Shakespeare or Joyce.
Paperback or hardcover?
Never thought much about it but I’d never pay extra just for format unless it was somehow special.
Adult or young adult?
Adult.
Series or standalone?
Standalone mostly but I’m not averse to series. Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy was my last series I think.
Dog ears or bookmarks?
My kindle takes care of this for me.
Bookstores or online?
Online for eBooks, book store for paper.
Fiction or non-fiction?
Probably 80% fiction, 20% non-fiction.
Monster read or short and sweet?
Either. Both. Why not both?
Starry-eyed romance or action-packed?
Not very relevant to my selection process. I like all kinds of things but if I had to pick a style it wood be wordy, rambling, and cerebral.
Curl up inside or bathe in the sun?
Inside. I’m sun-averse.
