I love audio dramas, but they're of course a completely different thing. I can't even imagine how an audio book of the more technical mystery novels (locked rooms etc., or the earlier Queens) would go.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-35964252043423581332018-06-03T08:59:30.139+02:002018-06-03T08:59:30.139+02:00Thanks for the pointers to the papers.

For example, I can buy an entire set of Christopher Bush e-books from DSP for less than the price of two paperback editions from the same publisher. See how I was slowly tempted? <br /><br />It did take me a while, before giving e-books a try, but it has given access to a lot more titles. I don't have the problem of remembering less of a story when reading an e-book. My only real problem with e-books is that they're just not the same as physical books. I also like to flip back and forth in a story to look back at a statement or take a second glance at a floor plan. And that's just not the same with an e-reader. <br />TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-71139947503662463212018-06-02T12:05:13.154+02:002018-06-02T12:05:13.154+02:00I suffer from this as well.

For example Kindaichi manga I've only just started to being able to read a complete story in a single sit(and now I've run out of translated stories so it's a useless skill :P) but my eyes go over the test far too fast...<br /><br />Since we're on it, I'm having an even harder time believing the concept of Audio-books. I just cannot understand how people can listen to books and remember things... <br /><br />I mean there's a reason this quote is still taught : <br />scripta manent verba volant<br />:)Yannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715425465328002763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-82237405993058857672018-06-02T06:44:27.401+02:002018-06-02T06:44:27.401+02:00In regard to whether you comprehend material bette...In regard to whether you comprehend material better reading from a book or a computer screen, see a paper from Review of Educational Research entitled "Reading on Paper and Digitally," (July 21, 2017), and other papers available on line. My experience is the same as yours. I remember very little of what I read on line. This is why I only buy print books. Also, it offends my collector's instinct to have a book without owning it. I don't consider I own a book unless I have it in a format that the publisher cannot delete at will (as, I recall, Amazon did with 1984 some time ago). Either that, or I print it off in hard copy so I can underline and annotate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
