Except for the people who believe paper is magical, that reading off a screen isn't actually reading. No, I don't understand them either.

- lawn 15y agoPaper isn't magical but books are, in my experience, a vastly superior medium. A tablet or a pc screen works a while, but it's tiring. Also a book is more portable, more flexible and it feels better to use. I read the most when I'm in bed but I can't stand reading on a tablet in bed. Or in the bathroom. I spend most of my time at home surfing the internet, browsing forums and writing code. I read all the time online and yet I prefer physical paper for reading.
- awj 15y agoI used to feel that way, then I got a Kindle. The e-ink screen makes all the difference. I hate reading from physical books now, with the minor exceptions of: quickly-consulted-indexes, no battery to go dead, and immunity to bizarre airplane/electronics regulations.
