"Britain's National Literacy Trust released the results of a study of 34,910 young people aged 8 to 16. Researchers reported that 39% of children & teens read daily using electronic devices, but only 28% read print every day. Those who read only onscreen were three times less likely to say that they enjoy reading, and a third less likely to have a favorite book."

People who read online and in print daily are more likely to be above average readers.
Reading is not etched in our genes the way speech is - we teach our minds to translate characters.
The media & other technologies we use pay an important role in shaping the neural circuits inside of our brains.
When we read online, our brains tend to "decode" information rather than retain it.
Deep readers retain more information reading.
For elderly people, books printed with large text makes it easier to read.
Flexibility in going between different information (hyperlinks), efficiency in getting the gist & moving through different texts.
It is more efficient to take notes & highlight in printed books rather than on electronic devices.
Reading in print is less distracting than reading online due to no hyperlinks or advertisements.
