I have read studies which conclude that we retain more when reading paper books instead of a PDF on a screen. What do you think?

I used to dislike working from screens, but I have got used to it and prefer it now. I have two big 1440p monitor set up, mounted to my wall and adjustable, it's glorious for studying. I have the lecture notes and books up on my screen, and then take physical notes and solve problems on paper. I also use blue light filters.

Spatial memory is extremely dense. You dont just remember a picture, you remember depth, thouch, senses and all.

The more information attaining a memory the more you will remember it.

For example, when you read a book you dont just remember what you read. You also remember where in the book. How thick it was. The artistry of the book.

In a sense, you translate the book as an object to your memory.

A pdf is much less specifik to remember.

I agree, I dislike reading long texts on a computer screen.
That said, I also hate to pay huge amounts of money for books...

Is this why modern textbooks are so colorful?

the main thing I dislike about reading from a screen is having to sit at a desk to do it. Reading ebooks is an absolute joy. No more fucked-up paperback covers, no more fumbling around looking for a bit you want to reread (you can search!), no more dusty bookshelves. If only we could rid the world of DRM and awkward formats like PDF it would be perfect.

You can purchase older edtions, at least. I want a small book from the 1980s but it is about $80. It's unbelievable. I have the PDF but I cannot afford a printer of a high quality, and printer ink is toxic.

The issue with purchasing older editions, is sometimes, the information you are learning is outdated.

This is usually not true outside of graduate-level texts.

Learn book binding. You can make pretty books that make girls wet.
