Why do you use this junk when your level of comprehension suffers as a result?

I've read this before. do you know if they participants were heavy e-reader users? not saying that I don't believe it (I've also read about studies showing writing physically is better than typing) but I wonder if comprehension could increase with familiarity.

This is old shit. There were a bunch of these "studies" released a few years back by publishers hoping to prop up their dead-tree sales. In some of the "studies" they didn't even use ereaders - they just used iPads and pretended the results applied to Kindles too.

Wow, people who don't use e-readers often are less likely to retain information from them
Who could have guessed :^)
