As we all know, years of computer use and network contact have greatly changed people's daily life style, and many activities are gradually replaced by online media, such as reading. As more and more people choose to use e-books for fragmented reading, paper books seem to be withdrawing from the stage.

Different from what we imagined, although digital reading has many conveniences, most people will subjectively choose paper reading, especially in the field of education. The existing research shows that 36 countries have participated in the "International Research on Academic Reading Carriers" project, and nearly 68.9% of college students tend to use paper textbooks.

So compared with traditional paper books, what are the effects and differences of using e-books on readers' reading?

0 1, reading speed. Early studies have proved that reading with e-books takes longer and the reading speed is slower. Mutt [2] asked the subjects to read 47 short stories on TV screens and books for more than 2 hours, and measured the reading time with a stopwatch. It is found that reading novels on TV is 28.5% slower than reading paper books. However, there are some different voices in the current research. It is believed that with the development of electronic display technology and the acceptance of electronic reading, the difference in reading time and speed between e-books and printed books caused by habits and video display technology has disappeared.

02, reading memory effect. Long-term use of the Internet has greatly affected people's cognition. A large number of research and development, long-term use of media and networks will affect people's lives, especially their memories. Studies have proved that e-books have less effect on readers' memory than paper books, and many people think that paper books can learn more knowledge. Mangan selected students of 10 grade 15- 16 years old to study e-books and paper books with pictures respectively, and found that students who used paper books scored higher in content memory and comprehension induction.

03. Visual fatigue and reading attitude. Visual fatigue: Because e-books are presented on the screen, their brightness contrast and resolution are lower than those of paper books, so readers are more likely to have visual fatigue when reading the same text [3][4]. Liu Rude's survey shows that the psychological level of paper readers is higher than that of online readers. Paper reading makes subjects more realistic and reliable in knowledge, easier to immerse themselves in it, and less prone to visual fatigue. In reading attitude: readers generally tend to read news, entertainment and humorous stories with strong timeliness, rich resources, short, intuitive, clear themes and illustrations through digital reading, while readers tend to read paper books when reading long, academic and classic works. At the same time, people's early education basically uses paper books, so when faced with the choice of e-books and paper books, many people will give priority to paper books.

What I want to say about this issue is that ordinary e-readers basically output blue light, and children's eyesight is not fixed. Staring at the electronic screen for a long time is prone to visual fatigue, dry eyes and pain. , leading to decreased vision. Moreover, the problem of internet addiction is also a big problem. Many times I want to read e-books, but after reading them for a while, I can't help but want to play games and watch videos. First of all,

Some genuine paper books will be printed with light yellow paper or eye-protection color, which makes people look more comfortable and healthy. Secondly, from the perspective of reading depth, paper books far exceed e-books in depth reading. E-books are very convenient, but I don't think they can't be put down. Paper books are physical objects, which can give people a feeling of reading. When people read a book and see the traces of paper books, they feel as if they are reviewing the road they have traveled, and they will have a great sense of accomplishment.

Of course, which reading method is better? Or look at personal reading habits.

Whether it is an e-book or a paper book, reading itself is the most meaningful thing ~

That's all my answer. I hope I can help you. If you are satisfied, please give me a compliment ~
