Anne Mangen, a professor at the National Centre for Reading Education and Research at the University of Stavanger, in Norway, points out that reading is always an interaction between a person and a technology, be it a computer or an e-reader or even a bound book. Reading \u00e2\u20ac\u0153involves factors not usually acknowledged,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she told me. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The ergonomics, the haptics of the device itself. The tangibility of paper versus the intangibility of something digital.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The contrast of pixels, the layout of the words, the concept of scrolling versus turning a page, the physicality of a book versus the ephemerality of a screen, the ability to hyperlink and move from source to source within seconds online\u00e2\u20ac\u201dall these variables translate into a different reading experience.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/science\/maria-konnikova\/being-a-better-online-reader\">Being a Better Online Reader &#8211; The New Yorker<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We don&#8217;t read the same way online as we do on paper.
