And if it's "a point, not the point," how can we improve that?Edittorrenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comBlogger2125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-34868748161910393452014-12-07T11:15:18.359-06:002014-12-07T11:15:18.359-06:00Love this analysis!

I assume you meant <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/aug/19/readers-absorb-less-kindles-paper-study-plot-ereader-digitisation" rel="nofollow">this story</a>.<br /><br />I'd be interested in reading the paper to learn how the study was conducted, how statistically significant the results were, etc. I find the result rather surprising.<br /><br />I don't retain plot details much either, and read to be in the moment. I certainly haven't noticed a difference between when I read with my e-reader (Nook Simple Touch) versus a dead tree book. It's been a long time since I've actually read a paperback. The only time I prefer paper is when I'm reading some heavy technical stuff, with code, diagrams, figures, etc. Even then, I miss the ability to resize the text.Adriannoreply@blogger.com
