When we are
discussing whether physical books or e-books are good, we will not ignore the
problem of e-books: why are e-books easier to forget after reading?
In the digital
age, there is no doubt that e-books have occupied a part of the physical book
market, but for many different types of books, only the publishing and printing
of physical books have their value. That is why we recommend that authors
self-publishing and printing book physically.
Why are e-books
easier to read and forget?
Looking at the
small screen, it is difficult to train our short-term memory. In particular,
advertisements and notices with inherent interference attributes will cause the
complete content of a book printing to be divided multiple times. Such
scattered reading will greatly reduce our ability to concentrate and maintain
our interest in reading.
Why paper books
make readers feel immersed in reading?
From the psychological perspective, reading
e-books is similar to reading some articles and information. However, reading
e-books will make it difficult for readers to be in awe of the overall meaning
of the text and the author's intentions.
This is also one
of the advantages of reading paper books.
The front cover,
back cover, preface, foreword, table of contents, appendices, etc. of the paper
book are all clear at a glance, and readers can conduct overview, speed
reading, intensive reading, or review at any time without barriers. The texture
of the paper and the simple layout of the text of a high-quality book printing will bring us into the
learning atmosphere. A book printing can focus readers' attention on the whole
afternoon, rather than spending time with their mobile phones.
The action of
picking up a book by hand will naturally strengthen the trivial matter of
reading to readers, and reading an e-book is just an operation for us to open a
reading software on our mobile phone. The same is reading, the biggest
difference is the difference between reading and reading the software on the
mobile phone.
Paper books and
e-books have different logics, which are divided into the following types:
1.Different
carrier.
2.Different
reading context.
3.The internal
logic is different.
Digital reading
uses relatively simple psychological stimulation to attract readers shallowly.
Paper book
reading must provide something for review and thinking, so as to retain the
reader, so as to provide value.
The printed physical book is
collectible
Now that online shopping is developed, many
readers will choose to buy physical books online, but what does your hardcover
book look like? In fact, when a reader purchases a book, he not only
expects the content of the book but also the feel of the book printing, the
design of the book printing, and the collection value of the book printing.
Therefore, it is also very important to print a high-quality book. The cover
printing design of the book, the feel of the book printing paper, the details
of the bookbinding, the performance of the book picture printing, etc., will
all allow readers to enjoy the printed book.
The
"collection" attribute of paper books is very important. Paper books
are an inherent "sense of existence." When a paper book is placed on
the shelf, it has a sense of existence independently, but the existence of an
e-book is dependent. When it is on the hard disk, it is invisible until we open
our phone or kindle.
