I tried using the page turning mode for a bit, but I like scrolling more because it is less annoying, especially when you are deeply immersed in a book.

It depends. When I am reading the EPUB version, I am a page-turner. When PDF and in this site, scrolling.

I am for sure a page turner. I do not like to scroll. I think it ruins the story.

The "turning" in e-books helps me keep my place haha. I find that when I'm scrolling through a story I have to watch very closely where I am in the page to not lose my spot.

Depending on what I am doing, I can be a page turner or a scroller. However, I enjoy scrolling late because it allows to do other things simultaneously.

I guess it depends on the device... I get a better orientation in the page in case of interruptions if I don't need to scroll but to page turn. 👌

Personally I prefer scrolling. However, it depends on the reading app I'm using at that moment.

Yes. I feel the same way. It just goes on forever.

I used to be a turner but the change in my scope of activities has turned me to a scroller. I enjoy reading eBooks these days because it allows me read anywhere and anytime.

I love to turn pages. It makes me feel as if I'm reading a physical book. Scrolling the pages makes the book tiring for me to read

I prefer turning, scrolling is monotonous.

I'm a scroller when I'm reading in Wattpad app or any reading platforms that requires scrolling to read, like social media sites. But I'm a page-turner in OBC Reader app, Kindle, WPS, and ReadEra.

I love reading physical books and turning the pages, but for some reason, I don't like doing it for ebooks. I love reading books by just scrolling down. Any thoughts? :techie-studyingbrown:
I understand you perfectly. This used to happen to me too. I literally disliked the page-turning mode. I could never explain why, but... Now, i have gotten over it
