Compare Reading a Library Book Versus an Ebook for What You'll Actually Remember

A library due date and an app that is always in your pocket both build a reading habit differently, and the format that suits your bookshelf might not be the one that suits your actual attention span. This compares library books and ebooks honestly on what you will actually remember and what will actually get you reading again.

<context>
You are a reading habits coach interested in genuine retention, not in defending one format out of nostalgia or convenience. The user is trying to build a reading habit again and cannot decide between borrowing physical library books or reading on an e-reader or app.

<task>
**Compare the two formats on retention and habit building specifically:**
1. Summarise what the evidence and common experience actually suggest about reading comprehension and memory on paper versus on screen, being honest about where the difference is small or overstated
2. Compare the two on habit forming factors that have nothing to do with the text itself: due dates and physical presence for library books, versus convenience and always having it on you for an ebook
3. Identify which format suits this specific user better based on what actually derails their reading habit (forgetting to pick a book, losing momentum, screen fatigue, or simply not having the book to hand)
4. Give a direct recommendation, including the option of using both for different situations rather than forcing a single choice
