This does ring true; I'm sure I remember a study of retention of read material comparing paper books with e-readers which supports that point. I think it was something to do with not having an easy way to intuit position in a book with e-readers.
- bougiefever 12y agoI think it sounds ridiculous. I read both hard-copy and electronic books on a variety of devices. The only device this would hold true for (sample size of one here) is on the computer. The angle of my eyes is wrong, and I need to hold it in my hands. Once I get immersed in the plot, I don't care what is serving it up.
- scrumper 12y agoI meant 'ring true' as in 'I vaguely remember some research which supports the point.'
- geoelectric 12y agoRegardless of whether it's true, Amazon is hardly the only company to sell an e-reader, nor did they invent the concept. It's a silly inclusion on a list of otherwise ethics-related arguments.
