Why can't you read from a screen instead? Why do all the benefits of reading seemingly disappear when read from a display screen?

Most screens have distractions just one tap away.
Personally I also like the physics of a book a lot more for reading. Every book is a physically different object. You physically turn the page. You can physically see how far you are in the book. It's just all much less abstract and tangible.

What? I guess you mean the mobile and tablet world... And even then I'm pretty sure that's bullshit, there is surely a pdf viewer without adverts
It’s a different experience but E-readers come close. Screens’ UIs are too interactive for a proper lecture.
every screen, even the majority of e-readers, now has advertising, which is designed to distract and incept.
.... So ban magazines yeah? They contain adverts, and in fact most local newspapers are FULL of ads because they can't sustain themselves otherwise.
