After all, for increasing demands for continuous self-education it is important to develop a culture of reading, information literacy as this skills needed to find and critically evaluate the mass of information. Analysis of the problems of reader interest and reader’s perception is one of the main problems of the psychology of reading, and despite the multilateral interest of experts, it remains urgent and requires further investigation.
