Abstract

Reading is a conscious activity that aims to understand one’s idea; therefore, it can also be explained as a mental action. Reading habit can be beneficiary to a person in the aspects of gaining knowledge. It is impossible to measure reading habits just by observing the print book in one’s hand and number of books checked out from the library. The aspect of reading has reached beyond the books to the smart phone. This research paper focuses on the attitudes of the medical student towards reading, their reading habits, to what extent the shift from print to digital media is going on and the common obstacles that the medical students face while reading either print or digital texts.

 

Keywords: Medical students, reading habits, reading attitudes, digital media
