This paper explores studies that "show that students of all ages, from elementary school to college, tend to absorb more when they're reading on paper rather than screens."

Here's a link to the meta-analysis. But ultimately, "None of this work settles the debate over reading on screens versus paper. All of them ignore the promise of interactive features, such as glossaries and games, which can swing the advantage to electronic texts."
