Read one book on a Kindle or small e-ink device. I issue them the same challenge I'll issue you, Dear Reader. But at the same time I, for one, welcome our new e-ink overlords. I get that, and I too, mourn the end of the physical book. And everywhere I go I end up meeting someone who says what all non-Kindle owners say 'I just like the tactile experience.the feel of the paper.' At this point I ask them if they've ever read a book on a Kindle or used an ereader. The study proved that reading from an electronic device instead of print has no negative effects, contradicting the misconception from German readers.Įverywhere I go I take my Kindle with me. Their reading behaviors and brain activity were examined using an EEG machine and eye tracking tools. Participants in the study read a variety of texts with different levels of understanding on an Amazon Kindle 3, Apple iPad and in print.

The study was conducted after readers in Germany became skeptical about reading from electronic devices like ereaders and tablet PCs compared to traditional printed books. Here's a passage from the Mashable article, emphasis mine. The words make it into your head all the the same.

It's the reading, stupid.Ī recent study showed that it doesn't matter if you read from paper or from an electronic screen. That's less than two copies of The Walking Dead Compendium. Remember all the blog posts about how Kindle would never work because it was $359? Well, three years later and the cheap Kindle is $79.

You might think that gets expensive, but for every $8.99 book I get (which is not a lot) there's a lot of really good books I grab under $5 and some for free or 99 cents. The Kindle is literally a one-click link between my wallet and Jeff Bezo's bank account. I read before, but never so much as when I got a Kindle? Why the change? Laziness. A few pages on the iPhone, a few on the PC, then back to the Kindle. The Kindle keeps my current page sync'd between any other devices I may choose to read on. I'm in the middle of reading 5 books right now.

It doesn't see books that you copied to your Kindle from free websites, so that's maybe another dozen or so. They are gone now.Īccording to the Amazon Kindle Social Network (yes, they have their own social network! You and I can connect and you can stalk my books as well) I've purchased 141 books since I got my Kindle and read 90 of them.

It's tragic they were at least a half decade if not a full decade ahead of their time. They scanned thousands of ebooks in anticipation of the coming ebook revolution. They were a totally-ahead-of-their-time e-book company. Interesting Historical Aside: I did architectural consulting with netLibrary around 1999. Ironically, my local library just announced their ebook lending program. My library is the place where I get dead tree books. In fact, I actually spend more time in my local libraries now than I did before the kindle. Finally bought a Kindle for my birthday in 2008, so come January I'll have had a Kindle as a part of my life for four years.Įven more, I haven't purchased a physical book in that time. I've been reading ebooks since my first Apple Newton and I coveted the Sony Reader nearly 5 years ago. By mainstream, I mean that my Mom bought a Kindle Fire with minimal angst and gnashing of teeth. It's nice to finally see ebooks going mainstream.
