Upon a tap on the app icon what kind of scroll comes into being? What fills the mobile screen?
Laptop screens are harder to fill than mobile screens. The scrolling thumb is harder to stop on the mobile screen than it is on the laptop screen.
I wonder if computer was really meant for the reader in the first place. Of course, it wasn’t. Computing was the point. To the computer was added the internet. In fact, video games appeared much before most of the material meant for reading on computer screens.
Computer screens were squarish earlier. Desktops and laptops typically promoted landscape orientation. Though I am not sure if portrait orientation would’ve aided reading.
I haven’t tried reading on the tablet screen but generally it’s been hard reading on any kind of screen-mobile, laptop or desktop.
First textbooks screwed the reading experience, now they are the digital screens. It’s tough becoming a reader.
Even the Kindle app can’t turn a screen into a reading tool. I do see folks on Linkedin reading long essays though.
