Good point.
If I recall well, the article is talking about textbooks or study materials.
On my case, I'm taking about database books or tutorial books, not fiction books. On those cases I can recall a whole topic if I remember a table or graphic that should be on X book.
Again, I'm nt saying the article is right, but somehow makes sense for non fiction material, in my opinion. It happened to me before and I didn't realize it until I read this article.
I think that a novel will read the same on ebook or paper book; but ebooks will be way more comfortable and convenient.
On a different topic but related, I find that I am more motivated to read very thick fiction books on my Kindle than any other format. It motivates me, especially when the book is a bit boring. A physiological factor I guess.
