Movies are a lot better generally, the perfect visuals and soundtrack really elevates the story/characters and make the best aspects of KnK shine. Also the directing is mostly great, especially in 5. I would say they're the best way to get into it.

The novels are good if you end up a huge fan of KnK, and want to know all the details, while experiencing a slightly different version of it. But for the most part, the film series is a fantastic adaptation. The exception is part 6, Oblivion Recorder, which feels like shallow filler in the anime. You should read that part of the books if you're interested in finding out what it was actually intended to be.
Personally, I'm just now finishing the books, and they were very refreshing after having watched every movie at least 5 times.
