I think the article is somehow correct about how our brains work with computer fonts and hand writings.
IMO, the hand writing is easier to remember because each letter is unique - especially if it is written by fountain pen. that's why everytime I have something that needs reading many times, I usually write it down in 2-3 colors of ink and use many highlighters (even if the handout/outline are printed). that truly helps with remembering text.
I only use e-reader as pastime. if I want to remember any idea or detail, I just add a note or highlight the outstanding words.
