>The Maryland researchers who conducted the 2017 review thought that people were reading too fast on screens. But in Clinton’s collection of studies, she didn’t find any difference in reading time between the two formats.
>Instead, Clinton suspects that the problem might be one of rampant self-delusion by screen readers. In many of the lab studies, readers answered questions on how well they thought they had performed in the experiment. Screen readers consistently overestimated their reading comprehension. Paper readers were more accurate in their self-judgments.
>The excessive confidence of screen readers is important, Clinton said, because people who overestimate their abilities are likely to put in less effort. The less effort a person puts into a reading passage, the less they are likely to comprehend. That’s because reading comprehension, like all learning, isn’t easy and requires work.

Based. Fuck screens.
Reading on paper is superior to reading on screen.
Drawing on paper is superior to drawing on screen.
Communicating irl is superior to communicating through screen.
Fuck screens.

What about reading papyrus scrolls vs reading on parchment? What about reading carved tablets vs papyrus?

i don't give money to the printing press jew or the lesbians at the bookstore so anything i can't find at the library gets downloaded (for free) to my (used) kindle

I'm hijacking this thread for purchasing advice about e-readers.
Thanks a lot.

You know why, right? He's underage. Spending too much time looking at LCDs and CRTs is what made me start reading. I read on a Kobo and my eyes don't start watering even after hours of reading, but they do after 30 minutes on an LCD.

there is no way I'm ever going back to paper. With e-reader i can in a matter of minutes aquire pretty much any book i want, in any language i want, for free or not, if I want to pay. Libraries suck and they rarely have the books i want when i want them.
I'm reading more now than ever, fuck paper.

>I'm reading more now than ever, fuck paper.
Are you retaining it though? Also what’s the best e-reader to get (I’m thinking of getting a kobo clara hd)

seriously who cares? screen or paper I don't give a shit
the only thing I care about is that my fellow chads and kings ARE reading

>>18171803
this isn't comparing it to e ink?

I read on my phone. and could maybe accept that there's a "phone mindset" that could spill into and spoil reading an actual book on a phone. but that would be fixed with an e-ink reader. a different device, different feeling, different mental triggers.

>>18172229
ereaders use eink which is literally just ink inside of a cell that floats or sinks based on positive or negative charges applied to that cell, not him but I have kobo h2o if you read pdfs install something like plato which makes reading pdfs a lot better kobo > kindle because of mods and shite like that if you have anything more specific I could be more help

e-toddlers btfo!!

>(((Barshay)))
Don't fall for their tricks e-chads

>>18171827
Kobo libra h2o

typing on e-ink devices sucks fucking dick. I can highlight and take notes on my phone because typing is easy.

>>18172241
>kobo h2o
What do you like about this one compared to the kobo clara ?

>>18172390
never had a clara, I go hiking a lot so it being waterproof was the main reason I went for it, physical buttons are nice as well can easily hold it in one hand
