iPad and Kindle Reading Speeds

A study of people reading long-form text on tablets finds higher reading speeds than in the past, but they're still slower than reading print.

Enjoyment level was comparable with printed books. I find this to be true in my experience:

Users felt that reading the printed book was more relaxing than using electronic devices.

I love technology and reading on the iPhone and Kindle, but I also love printed books. I struggle with which format to buy every time. I should avoid the dilemma and just get a library card.
