That sounds like 20 minutes or less of reading but the Internet is telling me that for slower readers that’s up to an hour for 8k words. If it takes you an hour, maybe don’t go for quite as long in a sitting and work up to it a little, if it’s 15 to 25 mins of reading I think I would switch to something more paper-like / talk to an eye doctor about it.



Yes. The trick is not to be a cheap ass, but also not to get hustled. So I guess you have to know something about the work being done?
Edit:
Also, I keep the extra materials. I paid for them. They are mine.
