Reply To: What are you reading?
@Angelastic I’m a fast reader, so even when I intend to highlight as I go, I tend to read whole chapters before remembering I was going to highlight something. Then the slow refresh rate of my e-book reader makes it really frustrating to go back and try and find what I wanted to talk about.
E-books also throw off my spatial memory — when reading on dead trees, I can remember that there was something interesting in the lower right hand side of the page, about a third of the way in, but e-books continually repaginate, and it’s hard to skip chunks very accurately.
What I really want to be able to do when I read a book for discussion is read it once, then flip quickly through to find the passages I wanted to talk about.
I have never tried reading e-books on the computer. Perhaps I should give that a shot.
