We've been following the discussion on the benefits of reading from print here and here.
The biggest story since the last time we compiled a list of articles is the Naomi Barron research that again confirms comprehension advantages of paper over screens. More discussion on comprehension benefits of focused reading, desirable difficulty of handwriting, and how it relates to print and paper. We posted these links on our social media (Twitter, Google+, Facebook) over the last year. This is a link compilation.
The biggest issue in academia from this research is the transition away from print for other reasons not related to the primary purpose of education: comprehension.
