Do You Read Faster On an E

August 24, 2023 By Navkiran Dhaliwal 6 Comments

Since the day I got my first e-reader, I’ve been reading more books faster. When I realized this, I decided to search on the web to see if other e-reader users also experience the same. If so, what makes people read faster and more with e-readers?

First, we landed on a blog posted by Simone and Her Books. Simon, the owner of the blog, found herself in the same situation that I was in. She conducted a Bookstagram poll to find out, “Do you tend to read faster on an e-reader?”

Results?

Sixty-six percent of respondents said they feel like they read faster. Only 34% said they read slower.

Then, we came across a Reddit thread, “Does an ebook reader really let you read faster?” which provided some solid, convincing facts about why reading on an e-reader feels faster.

Below, we’re going to discuss those points based on the content of the “Simone and Her Books” blog and the Reddit thread.

Because of all these reasons, we perceive that we read faster on e-readers. But this is actually because we tend to read more books and finish them faster.
