  I read a post a few weeks ago that relates to this subject – are ereaders changing the readers habits and the authors writing habits. Does the reader have a shorter attention span than reading a print book and are ebook authors writing shorter novels with less dialogue. Comments are from the e-readers point of view. Sure hope comments allow html coding.

  I have read several places lately that readers attention span is dropping. Before that, my agent was telling me to writer short books because that was what the publishing houses were wanting since they were cheaper to produce. So the big question becomes is the attention span dropping, or is it all financial and we are being made to think its attention spans, or c all of the above.

  Before I got my Kindle, I was unaware how much my reading had dissentigrated to just e-mails and websearches. Since we (my sister, my nephew, and myself) got our Kindles, we read more regularly than we watch television. In addition to reading on our Kindles, we check out more books from the library.

  I have free Kindle software on my PC and while I find a good page turner will still keep my attention the fact I have to switch on my PC, which is quite old and slow, means I don’t pick up the books that often.

  I suspect if I had a Kindle / eReader device I would pick it up quite often. It would also solve my book storing issues, I have stacks of books; I’m the book industries dream, I have to own the books and I tend to buy new.
