For tactics training do you recommend tactics books over chess.com puzzles? Are the puzzles in tactics books generally better than the puzzles on chess.com? If so, then curious why.
books are better by far, it's because the puzzles were taken from actual games. Chess.com creates puzzles that test 2+ themes in each puzzle, so sometimes they aren't the most practical and you might not see similar positions in your games, ever.

How do you remember the co-ordinates of the board? In your puzzles videos you were saying the moves to make immediately as you saw the position. I still have to read the sides of the board to see what the squares are called... lol... Especially when playing as the black pieces, I find reading the board then exceptionally difficult. Thanks.
P.S. Sorry if this question was already asked.
it's really just a matter of familiarity. I've probably played chess longer than you have, so... I'm more familiar. That's all. 
Also, don't be sorry! It's great if many people want answers to the same question (although this was the first time this question was brought up)

e4 is bad if you want to be solid and not blunder
not necessarily true. you can play relatively solid lines as white with 1.e4

How do I get better at chess but I hate books?
reading is one of the best ways to improve... but you could also play games and analyze them yourself. very effective
