For similar reasons I went back to physical books.
To add an additional change I noticed. Before I used to be big on reading as much as possible, remember everything. I’d get anxious if I forgot some details.
But now that’s all gone. I’ve learned to slowdown. I enjoy the books more and don’t worry too much about finishing it or remembering everything. I’m now deliberate about building my library. If I forget something I don’t sweat, if it comes back it comes back.
It could also have to do with age and COVID induced reprioritisation; either way I’m more at peace with where I’m about reading. I don’t think I’ll go back to digits books.
And oh now my children and wife know what I’m reading and who knows some shared reading habits could develop.
