As audiobooks(有声书) have become more and more popular, some people may want to know: Are they as good as traditional physical books? Let's compare the two to see which of them is more suitable for you.
Physical books are real books. You can hold one in your hands and truly feel that you are reading a book. There is no need for you to worry about running out of battery(电池). When there is no power, there is no way for you to listen to an audiobook, but you can always enjoy a physical book.
However, to store physical books, you often need a lot of space. Audio books, on the contrary(正相反), can all be stored inside a small electric device(设备). They are also more convenient than physical books. You can get them wherever you are. There is no need for you to use your eyes while you are enjoying an audiobook, so you will be able to "read" while you are driving, cooking or jogging!
Audio books and physical books both have their advantages and disadvantages. You can choose either of them according to your needs. After a busy workday, for example, you probably want something that can help you to relax. Perhaps an audiobook is more suitable for you. When you have time and want to do some serious reading, a physical book may be better.
As long as you are truly enjoying the book, it doesn't matter whether you are reading it or listening to it.
