The study found that reading speed down 6.2% on the iPad and 10.7% in comparison when reading the Kindle than on printed books. However, Nielsen admitted that the difference in reading speed between the two devices is not “statistically significant because of high variability data” – in other words, this study does not prove that the iPad is allowed to read faster than the Kindle.
A total of 24 participants (10 is about average for the usefulness of the survey) were given a short story by Ernest Hemingway to read the printed book, iPad, and desktop PCs. Hemingway was chosen because of his work uses simple language and “fun and interesting to read.” Narrative Taking an average of 17 minutes and 20 seconds from beginning to end – not enough time to get the reader completely “drowned” in the stories.
After reading, participants fill out a short questionnaire to ensure understanding no one flipping through the story. Users rate their satisfaction with each device, such as the iPad, Kindle and printed books 5.8, 5.7 and 5.6, on a scale of 7, while the PC receives an average score of 3.6 – due, in part, because it reminds the reader to read on your PC work. The participants also complained about the weight and the contrast of the screen Kindle iPad and weak. As Nielsen notes, ratings of satisfaction in this survey promises for the future of eBooks and tablet devices.
