Experts say that information gleaned from a paper book is absorbed much better than from an electronic one. It’s all about the peculiarities of human perception: the brain receives a lot of new information every day and, in order to fix the necessary information, uses various “anchors”. When it comes to a paper book, such “anchors” are tangible factors: the cover, the rustling of pages, notes in the margins, etc. An electronic device, in fact, is just a faceless set of symbols. The time spent reading the electronic version cannot be compared with the pleasure of owning a book made of paper.
