This article (shared by Ingrid) covers significant aspects about e- vs p-reading.
Here's my thought: I have taken to e-reading to grab those moments of solitude, to parallel-read numerous books on my phone. My consumption of titles/stored articles has increased. But I am not really at peace while e-reading (maybe it has something yo do with that progress bar). However, the reason I would rather p-read is - I know the cliche- the cover of the books & the 'feel/smell' of p-reading. A devourer of science-fiction, I really enjoy taking reading breaks & digesting the story-so-far by gazing into the cover of the book.
