For me, I prefer books (old fashioned as I may be). I have spent the last 4 years learning Chinese. 80% reading and writing. My speaking isn't great, but it is because I can't hear enough.
I read normal books, I also review text books for help and I practice writing characters each day. I also try and write e-mails to co-workers and friends in Chinese as much as possible.
