Print-reading is often compared to screen-reading. Some find that print-reading provides a unique experience, but fail to explain this in functional terms.
To be brief, the functional pathway in print-reading which results in superior mnemonics is at the data-capture level. The substrate of print mutates in 3D, requiring readers to engage with literally multiple perspectives upon the same text - this is the beginning of a stimulatory pipeline which results in more demand for work, and more dopaminergic cascades, which make print-reading feel different from screen-reading.
One day, it may be popular to find screen-readers which emulate print-reading's 3D mutations. It's actually quite trivial to implement this in a browser, and there are several examples in the wild.
