RE: Notes From an Amateur Writer #9 - Making Peace With My Kindle
E-readers definitely help with getting from one cover to the other. I have a 100 book reading goal for the last two years, of which about 90% are in a digital format.
How do you feel about your retention rate? Is greater or lesser on digital than hardback?
So far I think the retention rate is the same. Although honestly its still too early days to really know. One inconvenience I didn't think to mention, as it kind of relates to review - an actual book is easier to flick through to where you remember seeing the information you want to look at again. The Kindle is a little trickier. But probably just a matter of getting used to.
Most of my books are digital format also. They had been sitting there just waiting and being wasted. Finished over 5 books in the last 2 weeks already (as opposed to normally half a book in that time).
Nice! The Kindle highlight and note storage system is still not where I would like it, but it has drastically improved since I started using Kindle in 2010.
I'm still learning these extra features. I agree it's in an awkward place, but first I need to remember its even there in the first place and make use of it.
