Oh, I so love it when one of my (often exercised prejudices) is offered some validation by research... this time its the boost in comprehension a reader gets from reading on paper rather than via a screen.

For years this is what I told my students (based on my own experience), to be often told it was an age thing... well looks like I was right. Hurrah!

[No doubt this will re-open the e-book vs. paper book debates in my timeline, but so be it]

@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon To begin the eBook debate: I can't see the difference between my e-ink book reader on which I can take notes and reading a book and defacing it with marginalia and underlinings.

But I can from personal experience confirm that reading on a phone or computer screen is more distracted. So the results of this study don't surprise me.

So here is a question to the @bookstodon community: what is the best book you have read this year?

@TarkabarkaHolgy @bookstodon I think it's got to be Michael Wood's The Story of China for me.

It taught me a lot about a civilisation about which I should know more. And I liked his bringing of Chinese women's experiences to the fore.
