I've noticed that as a student when reading material, there is a choice between reading from the screen or reading from paper. When reading from paper I find that I concentrate more and that comprehension is much better. I can partially memorize the material rather than reading from screen. In addition, I find reading from screen is more tiring. When I feel tired reading from the screen I often print to paper, and it provides relief.

Questions

• Does research support this observation that reading from paper results in less strain and greater comprehension?
• Are there any techniques to improve reading from screen?
