I'm open to the idea that e-ink reading somehow has a different effect on memory, but this article shoves false-equivalence all over the place. Computer does not equal eink. Eink visually has more in common with paper than LCD.
I agree, reading off a computer screen is not the same thing as reading from an e-ink device. I was skeptical of e-readers at first because I didn't like reading books from a computer screen. But once I tried an e-ink device, I changed my mind, because it was so unlike reading from a computer screen.
