I think it would help sell physical media if Brandon Sanderson didn’t write 7 million words and sell a brick.

Books so large they literally fuck up your wrists from holding them for too long are certainly part of the reason physical books are on the decline in some fields.

I use audiobooks exclusively for my sci-fi and fantasy. There are so many great narrators in the genres that I can’t imagine going back to my made-up voices for characters.

It is way harder to share e-books with friends. If you tend to pass books around, you still want paper.

Making friends online who don’t live anywhere near you is probably another thing more common among science fiction and fantasy readers than in other genre target audiences.

This. I rarely use physical stores for my SciFi books, and only ever go after comics and stuff like that in hard copy. “Normal” books are easier for me to ingest digitally, either via text or audio.
