Reading A Book Vs Reading Text/ebook On A Screen

[Keikan]

They say a easy excersise for your eyes is reading now if you read a book then you'll get your eye excersise but what about when you read text off a screen or that palm pilot thingy?

It's not a problem with the new Palm Pilots or PocketPCs. The some PDA readers even allows you to change font and/or font size.

I agree with you,i can't get to grips with reading from a screen.

You exercise your eyes every time you open them. But reading a paper page is a lot less damaging to the retina than staring for hours at a flickering screen. LCD screens might be better, but at the end of the day it's still artificial light.

Well that depends on the Refresh rate of your monitor, but i preffer reading from a paper...

its just nicer to hold the book in front of you and your eyes feel better.

I am no doubt on the computer enough as it is. Reading from a book is a break
from many things for me. I'm a "lounge around" reader, on a couch or bed
with plenty of munchies and drink. And to think all this time I've been doing
optical calisthenics while I read. No wonder it sometimes makes me sleepy.
