A new study finds that readers take longer to finish books on Kindle and iPad devices compared to traditional print books. The research suggests digital reading devices may slow comprehension and retention, though factors like screen fatigue and interface navigation could contribute to the differences.

Kindle Takes Longer to Read
Doesn’t surprise me when ever I have a lengthy document, I find it is much quicker and easier to read on paer, than on any type of screen. The new e-books still feel a long way off from the real thing.
I’d agree without a Doubt..!!
I’m not really worried about the time it takes to read a book on the Kindle. I bought my Kindle fire primarily for playing around with the OS and for testing and development purposes. It also aids me in developing my demotivational posters site. I seldom read books on My Kindle, but when I do I’ve noticed that i’m easily distracted. Well, I wouldn’t blame the device for that. I reckon that the classic Kindle does a better Job at providing reading with distraction than the ipad or the kindle fire.
