I've been thinking about some long-ago topic here on MobileRead where we discussed how we experience reading. Some people reported that for them it's almost like watching a movie in their head.
I am not one of those - no matter how engrossing the story may be, I am always aware that I'm reading and seeing words on a page. I find words interesting and when I am reading on an electronic device I often look up words - even if I know them - to get a more complete definition. I am also one of those people who find too many typos or other errors very annoying.
I am curious whether the people who experience a book like a watching a movie in their head are less bothered by typos?
