I find it interesting that everyone js so defensive, like the study is deliberately trying to kill ereaders.
It might be because of the title of the OP's thread "The Death of E-Readers?". Feels like an anti-ereader kind of tone.
Regarding the study, I think there be might be something to it. Whenever I needed to read nonfiction for research purposes, I tend to prefer print books over reading on a screen. I tend to study and remember it better on print than in electronic form. I also highlight and take notes non-electronically (is that a word?).
When I write with pencil/pen on paper, I tend to remember better, and my writing flows faster. I wonder if it's because I am physically writing it down or it's a tactile thing?
BTW, I love both my ereader and print books. Which I prefer depends on the genre or if it's non-fiction. I usually prefer the feel of print for non-fiction and MG fiction, but I love ereaders for those big (fiction) doorstopppers.
