Transcript:
I do have an e-reader, yes. But it's just for convenience. I wouldn't say it’s my preferred reading method. I read a lot of printed books as well, but when I'm travelling which is quite often an e-reader’s much easier to carry. And I think, by and large, that's probably how they ought to be viewed as a convenience tool. I compare it to how you'd use a microwave oven and a regular cooking stove. A microwave is good at doing one job heating food quickly whereas a cooker is for more serious cooking. You wouldn't be without the convenience of a microwave, but that's not to say you'd replace your cooking stove with it. Having said that, one thing I have noticed which interesting that an e-reader makes me read faster. I have a suspicion that may be because I'm reading more superficially, but I couldn't prove that. Maybe it's just because I can actually see the words. My eyes really struggle with small print these days.
