I do believe that reading online is reading. They are all just reading in different ways. This is the new way and the new culture of reading and this is just like a trend in a way. It’s just like how people have moved on from scrolls to actual pages of scripts. I think that reading online and reading through a book is very similar, and it is still considered reading. I do agree on the fact that sometimes those websites and those places you can read those things have horrible grammar. However, it still keeps people of all ages still very interested.
In my school (NCA) we have e-books on our website, where we just scanned all of our text books and put it online so that it could be accessed online. I have asked a couple of students as to if it is very useful, and both replied yes. They agreed that this has been extremely convenient for them. Now many people read books online, because there are some unofficial stories out that they want to read and such. Online, there are even places where one can put up his or her own story, and people would read it. These days, I, too, read things all online. Internet is a very big part of my life, and I use it for a lot of things. These days, when I do my research, I don’t even walk into the library, and I find all of the resources online. When books are required, I just look for online books which I can just read via a PDF file. Everything is on the internet these days, so I barely do research outside of it. Just like Nadia, I used to be one of those people who would read and review things that people would post on fanfiction.net and quizilla.com. There were a lot of creative people who would write things that were very interesting, and this allowed people to use their creativity. This is just like reading another work that was never published. Although teens and the youth may not read things such as novels online all the time, they still read things like those small stories that other internet viewers put online to expand their creativity skills .
I believe that reading online is still considered reading because there are so many different ways to read, and this is simply just one of them.
