I'm getting back into the rhythm of reading more consistently. I generally read for about 30-40 minutes in bed right before sleeping on my e-reader, regardless of fiction/non-fiction.
This made me think, for people who prefer physical books, do you underline, highlight, take notes in the margins, etc. when reading theory?
Back when I did have a few physical books I never wrote anything in them, I guess to keep them in "good" condition. Even in school books I only answered exercises in pencil, lol.
So I'm wondering: what approach do you have for reading theory?
- Is it more like reading and absorbing the information more passively, where you read in bed, at a park, while commuting, etc.?
- Or do you treat it more like studying where you're sitting at a desk or at a library, pen in hand with notes and such?
I'd love to hear your thoughts/approaches/advice regarding this.
why do you find them easier to use? is it the consistent font settings or what?
Helps me get access to more theory, the screen is similar to paper so less eye fatigue, and I don't get intimidated by the size of bigger books.
My favorite thing is the dictionary. I can instantly look something up. Second is the form factor. I can read laying on my side in bed and nearly any other position. Third is being able to download books on the go.
all very good points. i just use them because i can get ebooks for free lol
Yes, that too lol
