E-reading provides both benefits and drawbacks compared to print reading. It offers convenience as e-books are portable and can hold many books. However, e-reading may negatively impact comprehension and the experience is more ephemeral than print. Additionally, e-reading can cause physical issues like eye strain and headaches. While e-books are convenient and accessible, the tactile experience of print is lost along with interactions that come from sharing physical books.

HOW DOES
E-READING
AND INFLUENCE
EXPERIENCE ?
CHANGE
OUR READING

2. E-reading is
when you read
your books in a
digital format
instead of the
older style
printed format[1]

3. IN SPEED AND PHYSICAL PROCESSING[2]
the shift
FROM PRINT TO
DIGITAL READING
may lead more than
CHANGES
POSITIVELY AND NEGATIVELY
it’s the
REVOLUTION OF BOOKS
however,

Ebooks are more
portable. You can
carry a whole library
of hundreds of books
with you, on CD, in a
laptop, notebook or
any ebook reader,
without worrying
about their weight.[3]

eBooks take up
less space. Instead of
a bulky library, you
can fit literally
thousands of books
on your computer. It
also makes it easier
to share information
with family and
coworkers.[4]

E-books can be
read in the dark
[5]and it is able to
adjust the font size,
type and background
color of your
electronic book per
your preferences.”[6]

7. “Have you had the
annoying experience
of not being able to
read and eat at the
same time? I did, but
not anymore; the e-
book will remain
‘open’ on the page
you are reading as
long as you wish.”[7]

8. The text is searchable
and can be hyperlinked,
you can jump back-and-
forth between chapters or
the glossary.[6]

9. E-reading
changes our way of
buying books. It is
convenient to
download or update
ebooks online without
going to the book
store.[8]

10. E-reading allows us
to access more
sources that are not
available with traditional
books. Such as audios
and videos can be
embedded to make
reading a fully
immersive experience.[9]

11. E-reading is a more
cost effective way of
obtaining your full
reading curriculum. On
tablets cost on average
50-60% less than print
textbooks.[10]
They are cheaper,
smarter and faster. [11]

12. Tablets, such as the
Kindle, have started to
change our reading
experience. Not only did
they make it possible to
read 50 Shades of Grey on
the subway with no one
the wiser, but the same is
true of reading something
thick and important, such
as War and Peace.[12]

13. An emerging
collection of studies
emphasizes that people
do NOT always bring as
much mental effort to
screens than paper. A
few studies suggest e-
reading limits the way
people navigate texts
and impairs
comprehension. [13]

14. One loss in our
reading experience
due to e-reading
will be the tactile
loss. It’s impossible
to feel and smell
the paper.[14]

15. For some people
who like lend, share
or give paper books
as a gift with
friends is a lending
loss or our reading
experience.[14]

16. A recent study out of Harvard
University found that reading an e-
book before bed lessened the
production of an important sleep
hormone known as melatonin. As
a result, people took much longer
to fall asleep, experienced less
deep sleep, and were more
fatigued in the morning.[15]

17. “There’s a lot of
interaction when
you’re reading a
book with your
child,” However,
interactions are
lost somewhat when
you’re using an e-
book. [16]

18. “Anecdotally, I’ve
heard some say it’s like
they haven’t read
anything properly if
they’ve read it on a
Kindle. The reading has
left more of an ephemeral
experience,” [17]

19. E-reading also generates
physical side-effects.
Headaches and neck pain are the
biggest complaints of those who
use e-readers. Eye strain and dry
eyes are others. Nearly 70% of
American adults show these side
effects according to the ABC
News report.[18]

20. The rise of digital books has
prompted a profound shift in the way
we read, transforming the private
activity into something measurable and
quasi-public.[19] The e-books are
actually reading us and watching us
reading.[20]

21. E-READING
changes and influences our reading
experience positively by providing convenience
and negatively by taking some essentials from
print reading and creating some physical
harms.
