I am the same. When it comes to a tech reference book, I want something that I can search, and copy+paste text from. But if I am reading for entertainment, an e-book is the worst experience I can imagine.
- abc_lisper 4y agoI agree. That experience of quickly flipping to a page or jumping from one place to another in the book is sorely missing from e-books. That said, they have their positives too. Like being able to search for definition of a world, quickly looking up notes(not easy to quickly jot though, new kindle may change that) and the ability to carry many many books so that you can change books like channels where ever you are reading. PS: e-book readers have greatly improved in responsiveness and refresh rate that it is different enough experience if have only seen the early ones
- daniel-cussen 4y agoThe refresh rate is bad. It's worse. Books are better because they have such a low refresh rate. Like I wouldn't read a book with weird ink, or one written in pencil. Forget it!
- dllthomas 4y agoThe relevant "refresh rate" is how long it takes the content of the next page to show up, as I flip the page. That is not slow.
