Does anyone have any information on whether or not #reading on a #kindle or other #ereader is worse in any way compared to physical #books? E.g. is there any difference in reading comprehension, fatigue, etc?
I've done some searching on my own but have come up mostly empty-handed. The only thing I've been able to find in favor of physical books is that recall can be slightly better since you have a more tangible representation of progress throughout the book
