When i read on my ipod the pages are smaller -‐ easier to comprehend I don’t think about how thick or thin a book is (on an ebook) I have a kobo mini and I use it all the 2me I read more because I am more adjusted to the computer screen.

- 16. Reading for Pleasure – eBooks and Audio Books ‘I would much rather have a real print book in front of me. We use electronics already in society way too much. It is good for teenagers to have a break from technology and read a hard copy book.’
- 17. Pro paper/print book i think it's much be[er reading and comprehending reading from an actual print book and you also get a different but be[er feeling from reading from a printed book. So, I don't really like ebooks as much. I like the smell and feel of a real book i think less about what i am reading (on an ebook) reading an ebook can easily distract students I think I'm more focused on what I am reading from and playing with the eBooks instead of absorbing the informa2on on the page and enjoying the book. It is different reading a print book. Focusing on a screen to read is too hard
- 18. yes because it is easier to read when you don't need to hold the book open or you can search in the book if you want to re-‐read a part of the book I read differently because my eyes get sore quickly so i read less Yes, because I cannot feel the pages and the device may distract me from reading. Also it is bad for my eyes if I am constantly reading off the device. i don’t get into the books as easily (in ebook) i would probably get distracted because that’s just me but for others... good Personally I find reading on a device harder to concentrate as it looks very bland. I find books hard-‐copy be[er Pro paper/print book
- 19. i definitely prefer to read print books. I am less engaged, I find, when, if ever, I read an ebook. I don't process the informa2on as well as I would as if it was on paper. I find i tend to skip paragraphs without realising it. I do not concentrate or pay as much a[en2on to an ebook as I do to a print book. This will seriously hinder my learning if the school changes to ebooks. It’s a li[le harder to gain perspec2ve of where in the book I am In my opinion, I enjoy reading a print book be[er because when i read an ebook my eyes become watery. Pro paper/print book
- 20. i think i read slower because i have to turn the page and make sure that i have only turned one page, not 5! I think that is more difficult to read a Ebook because I don't like how the screen is so bright on the devices and because of the brightness it hurts my eyes I think ebooks are slightly pointless, i would so much rather use a hard copied book any day and ebooks are such a silly hassle. I think that it is be[er reading a paper back because you can also look at the blurb, front cover of the book and read whenever you want to, not just when your device has charge. you would find it harder to understand because you wouldn't be able to look back with ease i think books are more cap2va2ng and there are less distrac2ons because it keeps you interested and i like turning the pages. Reading a hard copy feels more authen2c. Pro paper/print book
- 21. i wouldn’t read as much on an ebook because my eyes hurt aXer looking at the screen for too long. I also think that the computer or phone carries more distrac2ons than a hard copy. Yeah, it's hard to concentrate on a screen. It's bad for your eyes. I read a lot.. i find the reading experience totally different on an ebook, i definitely don't enjoy it as much. it is more confusing, annoying and i would much rather a print book on a bright screen I find it harder to understand it and comprehend it than in print. I don't always enjoy it as much and when reading for a long 2me it can start to hurt my eyes I prefer real books Pro paper/print book
- 22. I don't think it ma[ers how you read a book as long as you LOVE reading.
- 23. Na2onal Literacy Trust (2013) ‘Children’s On-‐ Screen Reading Overtakes Reading in Print’ Surveyed 34,910 young people aged eight to 16 39% of children and young people read daily using electronic devices including tablets and eReaders, but only 28% read printed materials daily. The number of children reading eBooks has doubled in the last two years (from 6% to 12%).
- 24. Na2onal Literacy Trust (2013) ‘Children’s On-‐ Screen Reading Overtakes Reading in Print’ …those who read daily only on-‐screen are nearly twice less likely to be above average readers than those who read daily in print or in print and on-‐screen Those who read only on-‐screen are also three 2mes less likely to enjoy reading very much (12% vs 51%)
- 25. Jabr, Ferris (2013) ‘The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Papers versus Screens’ in Scien&fic American. Before 1992 most studies concluded that people read slower, less accurately and less comprehensively on screens than on paper. Studies published since the early 1990s, however, have produced more inconsistent results: a slight majority has confirmed earlier conclusions, but almost as many have found few significant differences in reading speed or comprehension between paper and screens.
- 26. Jabr, Ferris (2013) ‘The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Papers versus Screens’ in Scien&fic American. Whether they realize it or not, many people approach computers and tablets with a state of mind less conducive to learning than the one they bring to paper. "There is physicality in reading"
- 27. Jabr, Ferris (2013) ‘The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Papers versus Screens’ in Scien&fic American. At least a few studies suggest that by limi2ng the way people navigate texts, screens impair comprehension.
- 28. Jabr, Ferris (2013) ‘The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Papers versus Screens’ in Scien&fic American. …students who read on paper learned the study material more thoroughly, more quickly.
- 29. Jabr, Ferris (2013) ‘The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Papers versus Screens’ in Scien&fic American. Subconsciously, many people may think of reading on a computer or tablet as a less serious affair than reading on paper. When reading on screens, people seem less inclined to engage in what psychologists call metacogni2ve learning regula2on—strategies such as seong specific goals, rereading difficult sec2ons and checking how much one has understood along the way. students using paper approached the exam with a more studious frame of mind
