Great in depth article on reading in the modern age.
There’s been a real lack of research over the last 10 years or so on the differences between reading on paper and reading online.
-We read like we perceive the world, in 3 dimensions. Paper offers more cues like position on a page within a book that aid recall and navigation of the text
-Screens cause reading fatigue due to the light they produce, eInk does not
-Comprehension of a written text is the same on paper and eInk but less on (LCD) screen (maybe due to fatigue)
Read the full article, it’s a good one.
