Scientists from the University of Valencia reported that reading paper books is much more beneficial than electronic ones.

Experts explained: “Long reading of printed text improves the perception of symbols and sentences in general by 6-8 times,” as reported by Sports.kz .

It is explained that the reason lies in the low linguistic quality of digital texts.
