Slovenia Times: Experts Discussing Digitalisation of Reading

The article covers the two-day meeting on the evolution of reading in a digital age started at the Ljubljana Faculty of Arts featuring 70 experts from more than 20 European countries who are studying the differences in reading from paper books and e-books.

Miha Kovač of the publisher Mladinska knjiga said as the meeting opened that some studies suggest that the understanding of long texts is different depending on whether it is read from paper or a display, while some empirical studies have shown that certain properties of tablet computers have a negative impact on the emotional aspect of reading.
