Anyone know why that is?

You could test this theory by attempting to read a whole book on an electronic device, in order to determine if it's the format (electronic vs paper) or the length (article vs book). (Or try reading an article in a paper magazine.) Of course it's also important that the book is a subject or genre that interests you.
