“…These findings deviate from earlier studies comparing e-books and print books, which found more parent-child discussion about the digital platform than story when comparing reading on e-books and print books (e.g., Chiong et al, 2012;Lauricella et al, 2014;Parish-Morris et al, 2013;Revelle & Bowman, 2017). Importantly, our study and others do not find device novelty alone to explain these patterns (e.g., Dore et al, 2018;O'Toole & Kannass, 2018). In considering the educational affordances of e-books, it is possible that these verbal outputs during reading, even about the device, could benefit language development.…”
