Seems there is a psychological effect at play. I imagine a social ritual of standing and reading something that is always in-focus requiring no scrolling is far more appealing.
- Ensorceled 4y agoScanning in that fashion is also far faster, more comfortable and efficient. I used to flip through newspapers rather quickly scanning the headlines and first paragraph and reading more interesting articles in depth. Scanning this way is almost impossible digitally. Also headlines were more useful and articles actually had informative first paragraph instead of just "scroll some more" hooks.
- wrycoder 4y agoI find that many of the magazines on Apple News+ have innovative navigation techniques that allow me to scan quickly. The throughput is high enough not to be laggy.
- jrnichols 4y agoI find this too. with Apple News+ I think I read more magazines than I ever have before. They've been a good experience.
- ilyt 4y agoIt is pretty possible digitally, at least I haven't had much problems doing it with PDFs on good fast reader. Just not in the web way where going further almost always incurs some load time so it is impossible to skim, and it always wants to shove ad in-between
- Ensorceled 4y agoYeah, it can get close with a lot of work, but I can still scan multiple articles on a large print newspaper faster just by flipping the page.
- ravel-bar-foo 4y agoI can't quite pin words on it, but just intuitively it feels like there is less barrier to reading and more of a break from studying when the newspapers are printed and sitting there than when you have to swipe on a screen.
- frosted-flakes 4y agoIt's the size of the page. You can never replicate holding up a huge newspaper sheet with a digital screen. I really miss physical newspapers.
