Vivienne DunstanJust enjoyed another pair of #SHARP23 #bookHistory #conference recordings. Including a keynote on #ebooks versus print books. This touched on many issues important to me, as reader - and book historian - who now reads with huge difficulty, and relies on ebooks for gigantic fonts for #disability reasons. There is so much snobbishness against ebooks, an incredibly ableist perspective. Many survey responses discussed in this keynote echoed these views, powerfully and clearly. #reading #books #SHARP
Here's something I wrote a while back about my own experience with ebooks, since developing huge reading problems when my progressive neurological disease started in the mid 1990s. They are life changing for me. https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2017/10/19/ebooks-including-kindle-as-a-way-of-overcoming-disability-reading-problems/ #books #reading #ebooks #disability #SHARP23 #bookstodon #kindle #neuro #bookHistory
