Anyone else notice the study size?

Researchers asked 28 participants aged 18 to 40 to learn a set of facts about three fictional species of alien, which were written in different fonts

No other facts about the sample or other factors that were included or excluded...honestly a study of 28 is quite low...and it doesn't take into account people learning habits or styles (I'm one of those who can remember a LOT of useless info found in so many different sources from TV to internet to books...)
But I agree that it seems that he was trying to prove a preexisting premise that ebooks are somehow not the same as "real" books type thing (which if you cannot hold a book due to arthritis or other issues, the is more than somewhat short sighted and condescending)...I have a love for both, but I do not think one is better than the other..in my case, I can hold the e-book better than the paper book...esp the Baroque Cycle books, or a Robert Jordan book...
