>Huge difference. Attending talks in person is akin to reading paperback, while watching a video is akin to a Kindle. It can be difficult to block out time on your computer and give undivided attention to a video. Given that I actively prefer reading on a screen, I'm genuinely not sure if this is an apt comparison. My e-books have infinitely large margins for annotation, instant excerpting and customisable formatting. YouTube videos can be paused while I Google something, rewound if I've missed something and played on fast-forward if the speaker is needlessly slow.
