I tried an early version of a eReader and it was crap. All day I use a screen whether its a laptop or phone. I am thankful to have the option of a physical book. I hate paperbacks for the tiny font and not being able to keep them open on a page. I dislike ebooks for the DRM and the inability to re-sell them. While I never sold my physical books I did buy quite a few second hand and a lot at library sales. See if you can find Folio Society or Easton Press imprints on the cheap. They have the best paper, illustrations and binding. | ||

Absolutely - browsing thru a bookstore/library is a very different experience ..the process of searching for the perfect read and stumbling on something unexpected all has its own charm And nostalgic memories of childhood forays into the wonderland that was a library, adds to it 
The tactile experience of a paperbook is a big part of reading - I tend to scan and skim digital texts faster which is why I only retain bullet points as I mentioned below.. however with a book if I am turning pages too fast , I know I am missing stuff and need to slow down.The downside is the weight of the book..prefer paperbacks.. Leisure reading for adults is a matter of personal preference but I do wonder about the influence of digital reading on the next gen. Their text books are increasingly becoming electronic - which means they have google a click away from their text book, less need to retain information Earlier when the kids had a question - they would go to mom , or dad or teacher - the question would trigger a conversation and the kid's understanding would be be enriched..now they ask google and get a factoid to answer the question and move on to the next thing... and there is user experience research on context switching when juggling multiple windows on screen . Closing a window is akin to leaving a roon and shutting the door behind you - you essentially do a memory refresh ..when you get back to that application/room you have to spend time and energy recalling what you were doing there .. While there is no stopping the information juggernaut coming at the kids , their brains are probably going to be wired very differently from their parents The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

I only used to read DB lol. Ever since I started investing in stocks, PDF books start chesanu and one paperback book. That was on a ipad or desktop and as tje below article said I started "Well, I should go faster,' instead of 'I should immerse myself.' Aapesaa malli. Then I got this kindle reader and it's really really good. Started reading again with immersion. I don't think I can go back to reading paper books. Onky time I get to read is while carpooling and after 9.30 pm. Paper books kastam. Last 3 yrs technology books or updating myself cheyaledhu as my personal situation made me very unstable and lose interest in tech. I'm determined to get back to that level. Digital route of course.

Same feeling bro. In fact, I always felt that reading text on the computer screen is better than reading the physical books. I felt so in the good old days of VGA era (early 90s). It always fascinated me that I'm doing something out of the world. e-Reading made me feel disconnected with the real world and made me submerge in a different world altogether. With the physical books, I always got this reading that I'm getting distracted. Turning the page, holding the book in a particular angle for proper lighting, to avoid light reflections on the shiny pages abboooo. Appatlo... I used to feel like.. if all the contents in the school text books were saved as files, it would be nice. From VGA monitors to 1024x768 true color transformation was like heaven for me. As of now, when my old mobile was damaged, I bought a 6+" phablet only for reading and browsing purposes. ///////////////// On the other hand, my wife used to feel uncomfortable while reading e-books. Ever since she got a bigger mobile, she started liking e-books. She loved the concept of searching, navigation, bookmarking, making notes (copy+paste) etc. in e-books. Its all about adjusting/exploring our reading experience. ////////////////////////////////////////// Off topic: I once had a discussion with my classmate about computer based tutorials like.. "how to videos" made from screen capture. She said that she is accustomed to listening the words and following the lipsync of the lecturer. She said that she was hardwired to visually process the lip movement and use the sound as a supplement to process the information. I felt that strange (No.. she dont have any ear problems) When someone says that they prefer physical books, I wonder(in fact I'll be curious to know) if they have similar "preferences". for example...like 111 bro said... "coffee + paper" combo etc. I don't watch movies to seek what I want. I watch movies to see what the director wants to convey | ||

FB lo Amar Chitra Katha follow avutunna - used to be addicted to them as a kid .. reason I am am saying this .. They post random pages from their old books - and seeing them gives an instant recall of the story - for many of us readers who may have read them 35-40 years ago - that is the retention that comes from immersive reading I am not able to find that immersion is digital - bullet points gurtu untayi from digital but not the softer nuances- may be because I am too old to reconfigure my brain now The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet : James Oppenheim | ||

Me too - accessibility unnantavaraku hardcopies especially for leisure reading - only do speed reading stuff on the digital screens.. I totally relate to Dr.Wolf's findings on immersive reading differences..

Cognitive Impacts of the digital lifestyle - and where paperbooks score over digital media http://www.npr.org/2015/05/28/408787099/the-technology-of-bo oks-has-changed-but-bookstores-are-hanging-in But is a digital book "better" than a printed one? The research is mixed. Some studies find we absorb less material digitally while others find no discernible difference. One thing that is clear: "We are not only what we read but how we read," says Maryanne Wolf, a professor at Tufts University and author of Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain. Wolf studies the cognitive process of reading, so she assumed she was immune to the pitfalls that she catalogs in others, but she was wrong. One evening, she picked up a favorite book, The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse, and found herself reading and rereading the same passage. Nothing was sinking in. "I could not immerse myself," she says. "It was the slowest ... experience of reading." Frustrated, she thrust the book aside. It took her two full weeks to return to the sort of immersive reading she had once enjoyed. Her brain, she realized, had been altered — physically altered — by all of the scanning and flitting she had done during the day. "For me the great lesson was that what we do during the day bleeds over into what we do during the night," she says. "The immersion online is always in some ways shadowed, if you will, by this constant reminder that we should be doing something else, too; that our email is just a click away; that there is this almost incessant feeling of 'Well, I should go faster,' instead of 'I should immerse myself.' " Wolf is no Luddite: She fully embraces what she calls the "bi-literate brain," one equally at home in the digital and analog worlds, but warns that e-readers can deceive us. One study found that young students, digital natives, absorbed material better on paper than on screen, even though they were convinced the opposite was true. That's why she balks at a move toward hybrid reading devices, ones that are part digital and part paper. Better, she says, to retain the unique advantages of both technologies.
