I'm reading more than ever - I just never got into ebooks - in fact I think the internet and long form blog posts (from pre-Twitter days, not the Medium-led long form revival) kicked me off on reading books proper. Nothing better than waking up with or relaxing in the evening with a physical book! I often have a non-fiction and fiction book in the rotation. I listen to Podcasts but there are too many that have little substance. I enjoyed Serial but like I enjoy a big bag of crisps. Obviously there are good ones, and many many books that suffer the same thing.
Mostly I hit a point where blogs and online text just didn't go into as much depth as I wanted and I realized the benefits of books (presumably they get compensated more for very long-form format of books?) and I find the physicality of books too comforting to remove from the experience.
Despite all that I dislike about the state of internet culture, I think the importance of text has been revived from suffering in the TV era. And if text isn't your bag, there are plenty of options and a new golden era of TV!
