| Sumario: | In a study involving 102 university students, reading comprehension of printed academic texts versus e-book Reader format was compared. Effects of specific previous domain knowledge and verbal ability were examined. Students’ attitudes towards the e-book Reader before and after the experiment were also investigated. Results suggest that the e-book Reader would benefit more competent readers, and that it could promote greater metacognitive activity in comprehension processes. Also, attitudes towards the e-book Readerchanged after the experience, although self-evaluation judgments showed that the printed format is still preferred. |
