Don't Judge a Device by its Cover
Tweethis: Although Amazon's Kindle appearance is basic, the simplicity of the device revives the reader's reading experience.
I spoke to my friends mom that I met last night at dinner. I explained our ebook project and her husband piped in real quick "Oh my wife is an avid reader we both have Kindles." She is an ASL teacher and has helped ASL students complete an associates about 16 times. So she does have some credentials. However, she remarked that she recognized that she stopped reading for a while and it was because of her Kindle. She said that the Kindle is just not the same thing as books.

So these are a few of the sources I have found. I still need to head to the library and check out some printed text, but we are focusing more on the digital aspect of literature, so why not focus the research more on a digital platforms?
I think your conversation with the whole ASL thing is an interesting perspective! I think it's interesting how you brought up her saying that it just isn't the same as books, because as we transition that seems to be the main thing people bring up, and yet ereading is increasingly growing and doesn't seem to be slowing down.

ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to get responses from social media, I know! Just like, keep posting a bunch of different questions in a bunch of different places and you'll begin to see some results!
