Ease of reading
I'm reminded again today that the print style of a novel most used today is different from the old 'who dunnits it' I read as a child. I decided to read Mary Higgins Clark's "Daddy's gone A Hunting" and found it at Barnes and Noble in close to a 4 X 7 size with 10-11 point print size. That's what I used to read as a teen. No problem then, I thought.
It's similar to my whole history of life. What I became used to then, and functioned well with is not what I most desire now. I like a larger book with larger type and like many, an ebook sometimes suits me when my eyes are most tired.
Today I realized how very spoiled I am. Some of the changes in life have lightened the load for me. I am left-handed and write almost upside down. This process requires me to turn the page to see what I have just written. Thank you, computer developer scientists for the computer I use. If I were to write longhand, well, being an author may not have been a wise choice for me.
The times they are a changing, and I have gone with changing also. Still, I can go back to the old ways. I read my book and enjoyed it.
