'Geoffrey Tissier' 'Thierry Baccino' 'Kevin Paterson'] The mass digitization of books is changing the way information is created, disseminated and displayed. Electronic book readers (e-readers) generally refer to two main display technologies: the electronic ink (E-ink) and the liquid crystal display (LCD). Both…

Digital reading has become increasingly important across genres and text types. Reading the news on digital media has become commonplace over the past two decades (Thurman & Fletcher, [jrir12337-bib-0047]), and the consumption of e-books may remain a permanent phenomenon. Statistics related to reading as leisure show…

'Marc Pomplun' 'Karen Lidzba'] E-readers are fast rivaling print as a dominant method for reading. Because they offer accessibility options that are impossible in print, they are potentially beneficial for those with impairments, such as dyslexia. Yet, little is known about how the use of these devices influences…

With the rapid development of mobile devices, users can now read on the screen. Electronic reading (e-reading) has become a common reading style with the growth in online learning or electronic learning (e-learning). E-book applications (APPs) are widely developed and applied for reading on a screen. However, it is…

The emergence of e-books with the characteristics of easy access and reading any time anywhere is a subject of debate in academia. Topics include the use of e-books in libraries, their use in support teaching, new possibilities for reading activities, potential uses for library archives, and the motivation and…

'Eric McKenzie' 'Vaibhav Mathur' 'Brian Goldberg' 'Peter Whitney'] Abstract: An optical teardown, or reverse engineering, of an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite electrophoretic display was performed by Optical Coherence Tomography at 1060 nm. The display incorporates an optical diffuser, lightguide and scattering layers for…

'Ana Sanchez-Cano'] Purpose: To assess optical and motor changes associated with near vision reading under different controlled lighting conditions performed with two different types of electronic screens. Methods: Twenty-four healthy subjects with a mean age of 22.9±2.3 years (18- 33) participated in this study. An…

The rendering and display of text is a key use-case for augmented reality (AR). Here, we present the Read-AR, a dataset of reading in AR, for which we collected over 11,000 reading speeds and almost 6000 visual quality and comfort ratings across over 80 different experiment conditions on the same experiment set-up. The…

We report the first use of ERP measures to identify text engagement differences when reading digitally or in print. Depth of semantic encoding is key for reading comprehension, and we predicted that deeper reading of expository texts would facilitate stronger associations with subsequently-presented related words…

Most of the existing literature has looked into the work prac tices of businesses, while a few have researched how high school and college students and teaching assistants at universities work with paper. We were specifically interested in analyzing paper use for people in the research side of academia, and seeing how…

Reading augmentation systems increasingly help readers process text at scale. While these tools address real constraints of time and cognitive load, they often implicitly frame reading as information transmission, or "reading to discard," delegating interpretation and effort to the machine. Yet this delegation changes…

Skilled reading requires rapidly recognizing letters and word forms; people learn this skill best for words presented in the central visual field. Measurements over the last decade have shown that when children learn to read, responses within ventral occipito-temporal cortex (VOT) become increasingly selective to word…

Reading directions vary across writing systems. Through long-term experience readers adjust their visual systems to the dominant reading direction in their writing systems. However, little is known about the neural correlates underlying these adjustments because different writing systems do not just differ in reading…

Visual cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduces crowding in normal peripheral vision and may improve reading of English words in patients with macular degeneration. Given the different visual requirements of reading English words and Chinese characters, the effect of tDCS on peripheral reading…
