There's evidence that reading from a screen makes it harder to remember and understand what you read. I would still prefer books even if they didn't have this advantage, though. :)

Interesting. Personally I don't even note where I am or was in the book. That point on a physical book allowing for more contextual knowledge at one glance than a screen feels weak though. I could easily adjust the font size to allow for more contextual info at once, right?
