Contrary to the initial concerns about the decline of traditional books with the advent of e-readers, recent research from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) offers a different perspective. The study, based on surveys and tests conducted in 2018 among 15-year-olds across 38 countries, suggests that young people who predominantly read paper books tend to achieve higher scores in reading tests compared to their peers who favor digital devices. The findings challenge the assumption that digital reading is superior in educational outcomes.
