From an educational perspective I find e-books very convenient interms of lowering costs and greater portability and flexibility in using a variety of texts within one sitting.<\/p>\n
I have a kindle e-reader and it is handy and convenient: less weight and bulk and offers me options for if I desire to read a different book.\u00a0 However, although I love my kindle the experience\u00a0lacks the satisfaction I get from reading novels and texts. I like to highlight, make notes and comments as well as attach visuals. It is funny how even novels that do not include visuals allow for a more visual experience than e-books ( is it the\u00a0presentation of the text on paper, or rather is that a comination of sense –\u00a0I can touch therefore it influences my experience?).<\/p>\n
From personal experience I enjoy the convenience of e-material however, I do not relate to or retain content as much as when engaging with an actual text. On the other hand, videos and visuals increase my retention rate even more. E-books are developing and features become more advanced. http:\/\/ebook-reader-review.toptenreviews.com\/<\/a>. However, they do not encompass my ideal, which\u00a0be an e-reader equipped with visuals (not the simplified platforms but high quality graphics), video capabilities and the ability to highligh texts and take notes that I can see and read again\/edit when I reread the text right there on the same page. Such technology may perhaps even trump paper and hardback experiences.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kerry-Ann<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From an educational perspective I find e-books very convenient interms of lowering costs and greater portability and flexibility in using a variety of texts within one sitting.
