A little tip to make a little improvement in your reading, remember I said little

[dennis thompson]

I have been reading the Wall Street Journal for many years. It is a broadsheet and I’ve always found it cumbersome to read. Recently I discovered that through a series of unnoticed price increases it had risen to well over $600 a year. ( think of all the wood you could buy with that ), so I decided to try the digital edition.
Guess what, it’s cheaper, easier to read, doesn’t get wet when it’s delivered on a rainy day and there are no more missed deliveries because the deliverer is sick or just forgot you that day. I also find I read much more of the paper using the digital edition.
So that’s my little tip for today, what’s yours?

I ditched the "newspaper" several years ago. Had been subscribed since I was 19 and had read it every day. Come home from a vacation and spend hours reading what I had missed. Now I read it online and never miss a day

I read from screen when I have to (such as right now) but neither my eyes nor brain like it.
I get about 8 hard copy journals... I very much enjoy reading them... those and all my hard copy books.

These are the bomb for reading in bed- don't even bother with anything else. In use for at least several years, my wife and I both use them.

I'm a voracious fiction reader and have been digital for well over a decade...and have a Kindle Unlimited subscription to support that. The Kindle Paperwhite is very easy on the eyes and for folks that need larger characters, one can change that on the fly.

I honestly have not read newspapers for years other than sometime browsng a local paper that is free that we use with our birdcages... :o. Its available digital free, too, but the birds can't "read" that... :D

I get a regional digital paper for the local news. Almost unreadable because of the ads, but it's the only choice for anything local.

I have been a digital reader for years. My subscription to Apple News offers several papers and magazines. I read the Wall St. journal and the Washington Post daily. That way I know what both sides are up to.

I'm not in the voracious category like Jim, but I do read on my Kindle Paperwhite. Since I do most of my reading at night in bed; ditching various clip-on lights is a dream come true not to mention that Kindle books are usually cheaper and you can carry virtually a whole library without adding to the weight of the device :).
For how-to type books with diagrams you want to reference as you read the Kindle or any e-book is not as good a method as a paper book.
Our paper only publishes an electronic version on Mondays and I don't have any trouble reading it on my Android tablet but the paper version on other days is fine too at the breakfast table and that's about the only place I read it. The paper's app makes it quite nice for zooming and moving about.

I'm currently reading a 900 page book in bed at night. It's heavy and I'm less than 1/3 done.

Be careful how you prop yourself up when you read in bed. You can really do a number on your neck if your head and spine are not in a straight line.
It's very natural for a person to thrust his head a bit forward when reading in bed, even when propped up by pillows.
It can also cause tight/ sore muscles in your upper back around the shoulder blades.
I stopped reading in bed after I had neck surgery (cervical fusion of C5-C6-C7).
The surgery fixed the stenosis caused by a few osteophytes, and the cessation of bed reading resulted in all my other neck/upper back problems resolving.

The US supreme court, and many state courts, require typing to be in a sans serif font and 12 point. They say 14 point is too large?

You can't wrap up the fish guts, start a fire or package a delicate piece of glassware with a digital edition. Though as small as the paper edition is getting you can't wrap a very large fish with it.

[Bill Dufour]

Growing up my dad referred to the local paper as the Daily fishwrapper. Wrapper has. different meaning these days I suppose.

That's the "killer app" for Kindle. If you like doorstop-sized books (fiction or other mostly-text), your wrists and hands will be much happier in the digital world. (I've added one of those pop-socket cellphone holders to my Paperwhite: makes it a true one-hand operation.)

My local paper (LA Times) digital edition website has both a zoomable WYSIWYG "page mode" display and an "article mode" that sequences from one story to the next. And yes, each comic counts as an article; the puzzles also get separated out, although those need to be printed to be useful. The Paperwhite really isn't the right tool for that...no true browser, can't access the printers, and B&W only. But it works great on the 10" Fire tablet or anything else that has a Chrome-ish browser.

I suspect that's what works best with whatever OCR software they use.

There's a push here to get court stuff filed electronically, and eventually everything will be digital-only. But it does seem to be taking a stupidly long time to get everybody onboard with that.

It's a good-news, bad-news deal. I currently read about a book per week, which makes about a 12-year backlog of unread stuff already on the Kindle.
That's bad enough at my age, but I average buying about 75 new books per year, so "lifetime supply" is an understatement. :)

[Jim Becker]

$10 month is all I spend on books with Kindle Unlimited. Yes, some things are not covered, but so much is that i don't miss those that are not. With my wrist surgery happening last Monday, I just started my fifth book for the week...rhe only reason it's not more is because of watching YouTube videos. LOL

Also a voracious reader. I have a Nook and I love using that for reading in bed and taking on trips. But much prefer real books. So I have a daytime book and a night time book-on-Nook. I must say the cost differential isn't that great, so having a real book I can pass on or trade in at the Half Price Bookstore is a factor.

I cant abide reading a newspaper online. You miss the stories (and ads) that would catch your eye if you were just browsing on line. I am only one on my block that still gets a local paper and the WSJ delivered. The Star for local news, and the WSJ for national and international news. I can read either online, but seldom do. I dorn trust online documents because they can be edited later, so there is no reliable record of what was actually published on that day.

I never quite understood that argument. If you don't trust the edit/correction/whatever, why would you trust the original text from the same source?

And unless you're a hoarder with a LOT of time on your hands (or have perfect memory), how is the paper edition any different?
