To me, the container makes little difference. All right, that's not exactly true. I actually love the idea of different containers.

The cheaper paper and easy to bend paper package. I would never give up books if it weren't for my eyes. I have hopes that after cataract surgery I may read again, but in the meantime, I enjoy every book I download from the library on my phone app. I go to sleep every night listening to a story. I turn it on, set the timer for an hour and if by chance I'm still awake when it shuts off I'll listen for another hour. Some might say that encourages staying awake instead of sleeping. I agree. Sometimes as book is too good to stop listening. Other times a narrator's voice is so lulling that I don't make it through a chapter. I'd saying reading is good for you however you do it.

I have the Kindle app on my phone, which has been kind of a hit-or-miss experience for me. I definitely prefer reading something book-sized. The big issue I've been looking at lately is the blue light issue and sleep, and it's making me contemplate the possibility of going back to the old-school way of reading when my e-reader eventually dies. Audio books are a really good idea. I'm a podcast junkie, and this would be a good way to get some reading done while doing housework. But that would require me to actually do some housework...Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635548083674337079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-16777042802228761282019-03-24T08:27:02.404-06:002019-03-24T08:27:02.404-06:00Both.

Never really did e-books, even though I had ye olden NOOK, because it felt like I was reading something on the computer, and normally when I read on the computer, I skim/scan big time.<br /><br />Way back in the day, I did audio books, only because it was an easy way to read whenever I was really bored (this happened a lot when I was working the overnight at my job and I would still keep to the same sleep schedule on my days off).<br /><br />My happy medium now is listening to podcast.

Here's a question for anyone reading here who cares to answer, do you find your memory of what you've read (or heard) about the same across all types of books? I find I can remember what I read on the page much better that what I hear in an audio book. I suppose it probably has something to do with multi-tasking while listening.brewella devillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239076401186979584noreply@blogger.com
