same, I can’t even enjoy audiobooks - I read so much faster than I listen, and there’s something about the ever-sharp text printed on paper that just works for me.
What’s funny is that I am actually a slow reader. My problem is my brain wanders all the time even while reading and paper books are the easiest way for me to go back and reread parts I glossed over. Ebooks, I tend to lose my focus and my brain wanders even more, but I will read one if that’s the only way a story I want to read is available (Looking at you A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson).
Audiobooks aren’t too bad, but I only listen to them when I’m rereading a book because if my brain wanders, I don’t miss as much since I’ve read it before. I’ve also learned to speed up the narrator a little bit as it keeps my attention better.
