A Comparison of Reading Paper and On-Line Documents By Kenton O'Hara Abigail Sellen
We report on a laboratory study that compares reading from paper to reading on-line.

These, in turn, allow readers to deepen their understanding of the text, extract a sense of its structure, create a plan for writing, cross-refer to other documents, and interleave reading and writing. We discuss the design implications of these findings for the development of better reading technologies Hits: 415 )
