"la traduction de "veille" en anglais - 0 views

  •  
    "la traduction de "veille" en anglais Le mot "veille" se traduit en anglais par watch, cependant comme on vient de le voir, il est, pour signifier le concept de veille informationnelle, d'usage moins régulier qu'en français, sans doute à cause d'homonymes beaucoup plus fréquents qu'en français, et on trouvera, pour traduire "veille", foresight (prévision, prospective), intelligence (renseignement, voire espionnage) ou research (recherche) selon que l'on voudra insister sur le but de l'activité, son résultat ou sa méthode. Il est important d'être conscient de cette différence d'usage linguistique au moment de faire des recherches dans des sources anglophones"

A Look at the Reading Habits of E-Reader Owners - WSJ.com - 0 views

  • A study of 1,200 e-reader owners by Marketing and Research Resources Inc. found that 40% said they now read more than they did with print books. Of those surveyed, 58% said they read about the same as before while 2% said they read less than before.
  • Some 11 million Americans are expected to own at least one digital reading gadget by the end of September, estimates Forrester Research. U.S. e-book sales grew 183% in the first half of this year compared with the year-earlier period, according to the Association of American Publishers.
  • Amazon, the biggest seller of e-books, says its customers buy 3.3 times as many books after buying a Kindle
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • because e-book gadgets are portable, people report they're reading more and at times when a book isn't normally an option: on a smartphone in the doctor's waiting room; through a Ziploc-bag-clad Kindle in a hot tub, or on a treadmill with a Sony Reader's fonts set to jumbo.
  • Mystery and thriller author Michael Connelly says he has about 30 e-books on his Kindle, Sony Reader and iPad
  • Compared with print, iPad readers were 6.2% slower and Kindle readers were 10.7% slower, though the difference between the iPad and Kindle results wasn't statistically significant
  • "Both devices give you a more relaxed feeling as opposed to a computer,"
  • In creating the Kindle, Jeff Bezos, Amazon's chief executive, says he set out to develop technology that could encourage long-form reading, instead of just snippets.
  • "A nightmare scenario for me would be if this device would ever beep at me while I'm reading."
  • men are bigger consumers of e-books than women by a narrow margin. Among e-book buyers, 52% were men compared with 48% for women—a reversal of print books, where women buy more. E-reader users also say that 52% of their e-books were ones they purchased, while 48% of their e-books were free because they were sample giveaways or out-of-copyright.
  • 66% of libraries offered e-book loans, up from just 38% in 2005.
  • Pages may be antiquated, but they're very helpful for making sure reading-club participants or students in a classroom are all on the same page. No page numbers also means there's no skipping ahead to sneak a peek at a page near the end of a book. Most e-readers have tried to replace page numbers by showing the percentage of the book read.
  • With an e-reader, readers can hold and turn pages with just one hand.
  • work in bed even when the lights are off
