I don't know if this has ever been discussed here at MR before, but personally, I have a problem with information retention when reading from CRT and LCD displays. I find that I just don't remember as much afterwards compared to reading from paper (and now E-Ink). It's not really noticeable with light reading, but I do a fair bit of heavy, technical reading, and I can tell the difference there. I should say that I don't notice much eye strain when reading from CRT and LCD displays for long periods.

Has anyone here noticed anything similar?
