I just learned about this study regarding computres and reading.
The suty is a comparison of the influence of interactive CDROm storybooks
and traditional print storybooks on reading comprehensions.

in one study students read either print or CD-ROM. There was no statistical
difference in reading comprension with open ended questions
but there was a statisical difference in story retellings from the CD-rom group

in another experiemnet students were given additional stories in CD-rom
format.  Their comprehension was significantly higher.
