Interesting read.

I do most of my reading on a device. Aging eyes. I can adjust contrast and font sizes.

The ability to look up meanings of words, highlight passages and take notes are the positives for me. A portable library and search functions are also pluses.The ability to easily do these things makes deep reading easier for me.

My lifelong reading habit with physical books may be the foundation that makes digital books okay by me.

Audiobooks put me to sleep.

Graham, this is excellent. I downloaded the Substack app this morning and I

am delighted it’s already delivered your Deep Reading article to my feed.

Thank you, Graham and thank you, Substack! 🌟

(I loved your voiceover too.)
