Want to Remember Less? Use an E-Reader

A new study comparing e-reader users to readers of printed books reveals that the former are much worse at recalling when events occurred in a story. As reported in The Guardian, 50 readers participated in a study and were tasked with reading the same 28-page short story by Elizabeth George. Half read the story on a Kindle and half read a paperback. The readers were then tested on the objects, characters and settings from the story.
