I personally prefer serif fonts in my books and ebooks, but sans-serif pretty much everywhere else (including manga). I think the serifs kind of make it feel more book-like to me. It's like I am reading with my pinky extended.
Meta aside:
This actually reminds me of a disagreement I have with my wife that could be a future discussion topic. When reading a book digitally, I actually prefer just vertically scrolling through the book rather than flipping "pages".
I wish actual vertical writing and scrolls made a comeback over binders.
Colleagues know I want to make time capsules case, so one can read while it rains outside.
It's terrible all vertical mobile software doesn't orient vertical text correctly.
I associate it with something old. Like a first edition of an antique book. So reading "with your pinky out" is a good way to put it.
I do this as well. Lets my eyes keep on the same level and just go side by side. But I put the question in the question pool. Since I'm running out of real questions it's just silly stuff like this week's from here on out.
