Why can't you read from a screen instead? Why do all the benefits of reading seemingly disappear when read from a display screen?

Most screens have distractions just one tap away.

Personally I also like the physics of a book a lot more for reading. Every book is a physically different object. You physically turn the page. You can physically see how far you are in the book. It's just all much less abstract and tangible.

It’s a different experience but E-readers come close. Screens’ UIs are too interactive for a proper lecture.

every screen, even the majority of e-readers, now has advertising, which is designed to distract and incept.
