I am, and always have been, an avid reader. And I very much prefer paper books to e-books, for several reasons: for one thing, I can have multiple books open at once for cross-referencing and comparing things; for another, I just love having shelves full of books.
But here's my point: I have a harder time reading things off the screen. Paper I can read no problem (barring the occasional typo or printing error- which are more common than you'd think), but trying to read a lot of text off my phone, my tablet, my monitor, is rather difficult. It's harder for me to comprehend and remember what I've read, it's harder for me to focus, and it's just a bit more tiring than paper.
Could this be a sensory issue, the way some people prefer speech over print? I do have a little bit of a light sensitivity, so maybe that's related?
Is anyone else like this?
