Yes, we read more now that tablets are here, but at least in my experience, we kind of also ´cheat´, skipping pages (are there even pages anymore?) and glancing ahead... in my more physical book reading times i felt skipping pages was a betrayal of the author´s intentions, now i am just in a hurry and really want only to know how it ends and if all the knots are tied. And we can do this beacause electronic books have put A LOT of lesser readings in our hands, books we never would have bought or even read in our physical book reading times. It´s just like buying a 1 dollar app: you play with it for a few days, then forget about it.
If you really think about it, that´s NOT reading.
We all should go visit https://www.gutenberg.org/ https://www.gutenberg.org/ and start reading on a tablet, you know, real books.
