Have your reading habits changed because of the internet?
Edited on Mon Mar-29-10 10:05 PM by Kaleva
I used to read books on a regular basis and still have quite a few but I think I've read only a couple since I've gotten a computer and been on the internet. Now, almost all my reading is done on the internet. I do like it because I can access any topic at any time when the mood strikes me.

1. Probably the news but not books.
Used to read the paper all the time, but get the news online now. Never read an online book and don't intend to.

2. Yes. I have trouble looking down while
reading now, and I have to hold books at the same level as my monitor.

3. news - I rarely read print newspapers any more
although I still look at magazines sometimes, and read at least several books a year.

4. When I read books
I take mental heath breaks every few minutes to think about what I'm reading.

It's a little bit ADD, but I think it helps me absorb what I'm reading.
