For someone who is constantly traveling, I prefer to have 10 PDFs on one tablet instead of lugging 10 heavy books with me. For in-depth studying, however, I do miss the ability to bookmark a page in a physical copy of a book. Free PDFs are great supplements to what you’ve already purchased. For example, the e-book that I had purchased was missing an index, so I was able to search for what I needed in a free PDF copy of the book. My ideal would be for publishers to offer a digital copy with every physical copy that they sell. Until that day comes, it’s best to use both formats wisely.

I wait for the official physical release of a manhwa and then borrow it from friends or from the library. It takes time, but the translations and editing are superb and I have real physical copies of the work. There are several publishers that have started to license more and more Korean BL such as Seven Seas, TokyoPop, and SuBLime. I prefer to read BL in a sustainable way and not support the greasy ad-revenue aggregators who put up translations of Korean BL for immediate online download for a fee.

Satori Reader and Todai Reader are web-based dual-language books and news articles for learners of Japanese. They offer an interactive reading experience for learners with links to word-by-word translations and natural English paraphrases of entire sentences. A built-in tutor!
Many of the articles include audio narrations of the articles read by native speakers. In addition to interactive translations the articles are leveled, meaning there is material that is simple news summaries, short stories, and even serialized narratives. I have learned so much practical vocabulary from the short story series on Satori Reader, more than I would have learned from any textbook. The dual language book has been updated for the modern era.

Honestly I just bounce between a few sites depending on the novel. If the MTL is too rough, I usually give up and look for a fan translation instead.

All of the 'Holes' PDFs I’ve found are pretty text-heavy, since the story itself is in the words of Louis Sachar and not reliant on illustrations for the main story. There was one teacher’s edition that had very small diagrams for the digging configurations and timelines for the story, but that was about it for extras.
If you need something more to look at while you listen, the audiobook is great. But for PDF lovers, this is a great, text-heavy story. No extra art is needed to tell this great adventure. The original PDF is lean and mean and a great read.

Another important point to consider are the accessibility features that platforms offer. Often, Audible and Libby feature speed up, sleep timers, and bookmarks to name a few examples. These little features can greatly improve your listening experience. The majority of pirated files are scattered throughout random MP3 players and lack these features. But the biggest value of a well-functioning platform is the integrated experience of a library or of subscription services. The convenience that these offer far outweighs the amount of money you spend. The value of this integrated experience is often easily overlooked in the war for dollars that is going on in the e-book space.

I see a number of comments below are mistakenly saying the 1611 KJV contained 80 books. It actually contained the 39 books of the Old Testament, 27 books of the New Testament and the 15 books of the Apocrypha (usually printed in a separate section). As was mentioned above, some of the Apocryphal books are counted as one book in some traditions (1 & 2 Esdras, for example) while in others they are listed separately (Baruch includes the Letter of Jeremiah, for example). The 15 books of the 1611 KJV’s Apocrypha are: 1 Esdras, 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, Additions to the Esther book, Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch and the Letter of Jeremiah, The Prayer of Azariah, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, The Prayer of Manasseh, 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees. This totals 81 books. So while it is often said that the KJV contained 80 books, technically this is not correct.

Although widely used, the 5th Edition of They Say / I Say PDFs are commonly distributed to students without answer keys, which are typically reserved for teachers and included in the instructor resources on publisher’s websites. While some PDFs of the 5th Edition may include answer keys, be wary of these sources and instead contact the instructor for the course or look for the answer keys on the publisher’s website where they can be downloaded for free as part of the instructor resources for separate download.

There is a lot of wishful thinking going on with these answers, so I'll just have to be the downer here. Audiobooks are separate products with their own ISBNs and payment structures. If authors get 35% of the Kindle sale price for their e-books, then they get a slice of the Audible royalty pool for their audiobooks, along with the narrator, producer, and audio publisher for the publisher. This would mean that authors are losing money by including the audiobook with their e-book. Amazon offers discounted bundles of e-books and audiobooks as a marketing cost, which they hope will enable authors to double-dip. But from a business logic perspective, it would be an unusual book that could be sold as an “included” audiobook, even as a loss-leader for a mega-bestseller. Don’t hold your breath waiting for this to become the norm.

It really depends on the student and the subject. So a philosophy major reading a lot of dense prose would probably find the Kindle excellent because the text can be read in a really clean, adjustable font and instant definitions to terms as they are read would be very good. On the other hand, an engineering student who is constantly referencing diagrams, formulas and tables would probably find it better to read physical books and then lay them out next to his or her notebooks while studying. The two really are not a one-size-fits-all solution. It really depends on the student's style of learning and that would be to consider whether you're a visual-spatial learner and remember information in relation to the physical pages of a book, or whether you're a more textual-processor type who benefits from being able to search and aggregate information.
