DID you know:

  • that only 6 minutes of reading reduces stress by 68%? (well, I am sure that depends on the type of literature too)
  • that individuals who read have 2.5 times less likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s Disease?
  • that readers of e-books comprehend and remember significantly less of the content than people who read paper-books?
  • that the reader’s sensory experience is reduced when reading a Kindle or similar, not offering the same visual / kinaesthetic experience
  • that screen readers tend to read in an “F” pattern, reading the entire top line but then only scanning through the text along the left side of the page.

  • that ‘slow reading’ is highly recommended to help people to improve their memories, reduce stress, improve sleep and empathy
