HUMAN CHANGE = WORK TOGETHER ?

WHY I DON'T READ PHYSICAL BOOKS... BUT MORE AUDIO/VOICE COPY OR TTS READING... 

@bibliolater @philosophy @bookstodon Reasons why I don't read - quite interesting and more than I thought:

0/ Need to buy AND store it physically which I don't having move a bit or reducing as a lifestyle from so many clothes and purchase to almost just food - I've cut down all possession and to large extent "Internet" replaces or serves everything!

(Internet as library, tea shop to chat, images for clothes and ideas "in future" instead of actually buying them I keep the image!, newspapers clips, interaction / observation etc).

Strange to write but nice overall I hope to replace and stick to gardening / Earth / emotional intelligence etc...

A static Library is a shame for me also and kills the books somewhat over time unless you have guest that ask as active ornamental discussion pieces (education of sorts so can work).

When moving once I left a book at each bus stop with a note inside asking nicely to protect or pass it on and maybe it needs to live, maybe why i liked the book as many you can't be sure of...

1/ Often I have to pull myself out all media and the magnetism of it unless directly which I'm into (which was everything and now narrow and zooming out again)

All media is magnetic to the level of "Oh man I have to dedicate my life to this" as a factor making me 'unsure' to read it if it's that good... mostly because I have to make notes I don't unless relative... which most is so shrug I guess I have to choose well.

Summary of point - I'm limiting myself with all medium or it's easier to preview with audio / disposable after finishing audio and I can multi-task or make notes at the same time...

2/ It's also the medium of reading is too focused for body physically - so on computer or as physical book - almost too narrow for body (nice for downtime or fun BUT FOR ME intensive if away from computer perhaps - making proper notes on paper (and then computer after). So computer is maybe used as notes for eventually anyway...

3/ NO SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS IN BOOKS ! <---- YEAH that is it reading all these things would be better IF it gave solutions quickly and wasn't such a gamble.... and I pretty sure most don't or a it's a genre trying to make you 'feel' something via characters (kinda ok but the other version of points / Cliff Notes also is good so you are not investing in the drama / dramatics to see the points).

4/ Often the points are spelled out in different genres so it's even further a gamble... if not practical in your life or you're in love with how someone writes....

For me must be practical or relative in some sense... I can read long if it's in their light more clearly...
==================
MY SOLUTION = AUDIO

(DOWNLOAD OR MAKE IT MYSELF!)
===================
1/ AUDIO BOOK

OR

2. Text to Speech! (Paste text into offline app window and it reads!). Currently tested / testing

WHY I DON'T READ PHYSICAL BOOKS... BUT MORE AUDIO/VOICE COPY OR TTS READING... 

@bibliolater @philosophy @bookstodon

So well written (and only just started so I'll let you know if it ever fails to hit as well as it has now as I HAVE FELT REALLY SIMILAR FOR YEARS about the disintegration and more tech - and nearly nobody has listened or just switch to "the human work" using existing tech which is really "advanced enough" and overshoot is not needed, more "human improvement" and mentality need adjusting / balancing from people doing things like group chats and minor therapy for how distant life became and more educated / enjoying we could be of each other (and needed as a kind of pollination of ourselves rather than - even with just education as media all the time - without the human saying it or sharing it - it's kind of dry / doesn't give to humanity at the end as it's about more practice and participation by all in two-way and group stuff not just computer ! )

WHY I DON'T READ PHYSICAL BOOKS... BUT MORE AUDIO/VOICE COPY OR TTS READING... 

@freeschool @bibliolater @philosophy @bookstodon I've gotten to the point where 10pt type is to small for me to read even with my readers. I tossed the dead tree version of the book and got the Kindle version where I can adjust the type size so I can read it. I also kept swiping the lower right hand corner of the paper page, but it still wouldn't flip to the next page. Not a problem on the Kindle.
