How do you read Literotica?

[MayorReynolds]

I like to copy/paste stories into a .doc file and use SendToKindle to put them on my Paperwhite for comfortable reading. I keep track of the author names so I can go back and vote/comment when I'm done.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I dont read much at LITTEROTICA.

 

[PennLady]

I would just read them on my computer, but I don't read much on here anymore. I might again once school starts and both kiddies are out of the house.

 

[eric60red]

I tend to read them them on line, any special ones that take my fancy, I do save and then transfer to a memory stick, which I can read on my lap top later in private. Over the years I have become friendly with several authors, and usually get a preview before they go public.

 

[damppanties]

I used to read a lot at one point and now don't much anymore as life got busy. However, I've recently discovered Lit's app for android and that's helping me read much more than I would otherwise. I only wish I could vote and comment with it too.

 

[sr71plt]

Whatever I read, I read right there on Web site.

 

[Saxon_Hart]

I read them on line, either on my desk top or on my phone if I am away from the house and want to read.

 

[lovecraft68]

I just read them right here, I have enough of my own crap saved to the computer to start adding other people's stuff

 

[Zeb_Carter]

I usually read them here, back when I used to read stories here on Lit. I did save some of my favorites on my laptop for comfortable reading time.

I'm usually writing and too busy to read anymore.

 

[HeyAll]

I read on here.

I sometimes skim through the new list, but I check the incest hubris constantly. I also check the Top List a lot to see what's popular.

The vast majority of stories that I click on, I don't read. I look at the first paragraph (or so) to determine if I like it or not.

If I make it all the way to the end, I vote 5 and usually leave a comment.

I've got a lot of stories in my Favorites list and I sometimes go back and read that.

 

[D_Lynn]

On my iPad. If the story is good, balancing it in one hand by the end.

 

[Handley_Page]

I read them on line.
Its simpler

 

[Tx Tall Tales]

Definitely online, usually on my android tablet.

Although I have saved a few for offline perusal now and then.

"Send to Kindle" - sounds interesting - but how? And does it work with Kindle on a laptop?

I read online, on my laptop. If I have to, uh... 'read' one handed, I put the laptop on my chest - I need to get an ipad LOL.

I have copied and pasted stories that I really like, but now I just save the url in a document - put a note beside it - 'check for continuations', 'worth a re-read' etc. I read when I'm too lazy to write, or out of ideas, so I read a lot.

Same here.

Re: Reading Lit

My routine goes like this:

Go to Lit Stories index.

Open my favorite categories in new tabs.

Open any individual stories that are new and look good in new tabs.

Depending on length depends on how I read:

* If short (4 pages or less), I'll read on my computer.
* If longer, I'll save to Pocket app to read later on my phone.

Stories I don't get to remain opened.

No, I'm not a creature of habit.

I have difficulty reading large amounts of text on a computer screen, so I copy and paste the stories page by page into emacs. I then reformat them to have no space between paragraphs and have tab-indents for each paragraph. I paste the reformatted text into LibreOffice, where I shrink the tab width down to nearly nothing, reduce the font size to 8, make the page landscape mode with 3 columns, set the margins to 0.25", and print onto paper. I have a laser printer so it prints super fast, and even though the text is tiny it's one hell of a lot easier to get through like that than on a screen.

You must run a high paper bill. Also, how do you dispose of the papers once you're done? I assume this the kind of thing you wouldn't want your family discovering while searching for a stapler.

If I'm on the move, I read on my tablet. If I like a story enough to comment, I bookmark the page and comment when I reach my laptop.

 

[danger2no]

On my phone or tablet.

 

[HeyAll]

Side question: When you read stories on Lit, do you typically read them word-for-word as if you're reading a novel, or do you skim?

 

[sr71plt]

I skim over much of the "same old/same old," I'll have to admit.

Word for word first time around, but the ones I have re read I do a little skimming.

 

[CDWilder]

I'm also of the word-for-word mindset, but if the literary quality isn't that great, I'll skim until I hit the *ahem* "good parts". If THOSE fail me, Close Tab > next story.

 

[JustaSCOUNDREL]

I almost always read them on line in my desk PC. I seldom scan the story unless the writing is repetitive or just bad. The badly written stuff I usually click away and find another story.

Here is a link to a clever little app that takes a multi page story and displays it as a single page. Just make reading much easier and of you C & P to a text doc. you can do it in one fell swoop and not page by page.

Most of the times I read lit online from pc or tablet, but I also keep my favorite stories on my kindle to read them in public places
