New research suggests it is slightly about the medium (for the kids, idk about adults it wasn't discussed). Physical books are better for attention span, apparently because they have "friction", i.e., you have to turn the page yourself so you "work" for the information, which makes information "valuable" so you hold onto it.

I guess we can have crank-powered e-readers where you have to work to turn the page?
