What we know about screen versus paper reading

There has been a lot of research into the effects of screen reading. It is generally accepted that readers remember more from what they read on paper than from a screen. However, screen reading has increased the amount we read threefold since 1980.

Science journalist Annie Sneed has listed some of this research and its conclusions on fastcodesign. The most important conclusion is the fact that the type and the amount of content influence the efficiency of online reading. Short and to-the-point, like we try to do with blokboek.net, seem to score highest.
