It is very convenient for readers to download（下载） electronic books on the Internet.However, experts say that readers will not be able to absorb( 吸收) efficiently what they have read, because the information is shown in such a simple form.“Some e-readers（电子阅览器）, such as the Amazon Kindle and Sony Reader, show texts clearly to readers. This encourages the brain to be lazy and make readers easily forget what they have just read, ”experts say.A. student by Princeton University finds that many readers can recall more information after reading if they read paper books. Compared with electronic books, paper books are less convenient for readers to read. Such difficulty in reading makes readers cherish（珍惜） the information they are reading and encourage their brain to think. As a result, the efficiency of reading will be improved greatly. Experts say if readers get information actively, that is to say, if they read paper books, they will be able to remember the information longer than those who passively read electronic books.Others experts say that e-readers and computers may stop us from absorbing information, because the screens may make you feel that the words on the screen are not important. Mr. Lehrer, an expert, said, “E-readers have changed the reading habits of people, but they make peoples ability of reading degenerate（退化）”41 .
