[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2336225, member: 25851"] Actually "read" was a past tense. You are a few years younger than my sons, but did you have books to read when you were young, or was it directly onto electronic media? Quite right to postpone glasses for as long as possible. I don't e-read any more than I have to - I find that my eyes don't cope very well with extensive reading from a screen. Come to think of it, they don't cope very well with the printed word either - old age! I did do a research project with some of my students a few years ago - just at the transition from the printed word to the electronic. We found that, at that point, a fairly large proportion of students took in less information and were less accurate from screen as opposed to paper. I'm pretty sure that the proportions will have altered by now. There are fewer people now who read from paper - definitely old hat. [/QUOTE]
