Not sure what the difference in the texts would have to do with it. To be clear what I meant was you would do the following:
1) 25% of the users would read Story A on paper and then Story B on e-ink
2) 25% of the users would read Story A on e-ink and then Story B on paper
3) 25% of the users would read Story B on paper and then Story A on e-ink
4) 25% of the users would read Story B on e-ink and then Story A on paper
All readers should already be familiar with reading on e-ink technology to remove the distraction of a new technology. If the goal is to determine if you retain more information on paper or e-ink then that would be a much more logical approach. With the approach that was taken there are a lot more variables and with such a small sample size the results are meaningless.
