As I noticed, after reading 2-8 thousand words a day, after a few days of reading like this, it becomes very difficult for me to read, and I started reading actively lately, before that I only watched TV shows and movies, and now I have a slight headache, the text is floating, I even confuse words. In fact, that’s why I used to read very little, and now I’m so tired of TV shows and movies that I’m willing to force myself to read, even if I have a headache, to become emotionally attached to books instead of just consuming like zombie like I used to.
Web novels? Are you reading from a screen, e reader or an actual book?
If a real book makes you have headaches and the words are jumping, maybe go to a doctor or have your eyes tested.
If its a screen thats making your head ache, maybe try a e-reader or a real book instead of a device that beams light into your eyes.
I second the e-reader.
E-ink screens are so much nicer on your eyes for long reading.
Yup. I got a e-reader because I liked the idea of having a 100 books in my pocket/backbag. I already had a tablet, so I threw some books in there, I managed to read a couple of pages before giving up and ordering a proper reader.
I read from the screen because I’m used to it, sometimes I try to read paper books, it’s easier to read them, but the problem seems different, perhaps because I’m used to diving too deep into the story, imagining everything that happens on the go, including the smells and voices of the characters? I don’t know, maybe I’m trying to keep too much information in my head and can’t calmly enjoy the text?
3rd-ing the suggestion for an e-reader. On those you can change and enlarge the font, and the screen is much more comfortable to look at (even more comfortable than paper IMO). And remember you are reading for entertainment and pleasure. Stop reading when it stops feeling good! Go do something else.
