According to one study, people report that they read a traditional hard-copy book faster than they read an e-book. That’s certainly not my experience; I tend to prefer e-books when I’m on a tight book club deadline. But I’m also accustomed to reading for lengthy periods of time on a computer screen. The only thing that slows me down are e-mail notifications and random impulses to Google some obscure topic. I really should turn off my internet connection when I’m reading, but I can’t quite bring myself to do that.
