With regards to the electronic book (e-book) issue, I personally find the text on computer screens harder to understand, less interesting and even less persuasive than when written on paper. I seem to find paper texts easier to comprehend and somewhat more convincing. This may contribute to the different processing abilities students need to use when attempting to read computerized text. Readers tend to develop strategies about how to remember and comprehend printed texts, but undergraduates such as me are unable to transfer those strategies to the computerized version, regardless of how much computer experience we may have. I mean, how many of us used to print out the text from computers just so that we can understand and read it better?
