I'd be very curious to see if it's age dependent.

I agree that I absorb more with the printed page, but I wonder if this is habit or conditioning. I didn't grow up reading material on a device.

Disclaimer: I'm old :).

I think the article can be summarized by this sentence: "When students preferred screen reading, they learned less when required to read from paper, and vice versa."

I'm pretty sure this is all just a matter of personal preference.
