{"pk":25883,"title":"The Breadth and Depth of E-reading and Paper-reading","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The present study investigated the differences between e-reading and paper-reading in their breadth and depth. Our\nresults showed that (1) breadth and depth of reading were both greater in e-reading than in paper-reading; (2) possession of\na tablet tended to facilitate breadth of e-reading; (3) breadth of e-reading was greater than breadth of paper-reading for news,\nmagazines, and others, but not for novels; (4) depth of e-reading was greater than depth of paper-reading for novels, but the\nreverse was true for news and magazines; (5) people tended to read research articles, books and magazines on paper, but news\nand others on digital devices; (6) people tended to read longer on paper than on digital devices, but the percentage of contents\nthey could remember was no different between e-reading and paper-reading. We conclude that modern readers have become\naccustomed to e-reading and can do it more efficiently than paper-reading.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Member Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2nm66679","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jenn-Yeu","middle_name":"","last_name":"Chen","name_suffix":"","institution":"National Taiwan Normal University","department":""},{"first_name":"Wan-Hsin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lee","name_suffix":"","institution":"National Taiwan Normal University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25883/galley/15507/download/"}]}
