I have. I went to school and work as a technical writer. I wasnt disagreeing with what you are saying, but going further into the specifics. For example, reading with a digital device such as a tablet, smartphone etc.. has a lot of multitask potential that is distracting. You may stop and respond to send an email/text or any number of other distractions on your way to completing your reading. Part of that is how easy the devices make this, but also how generally people have taken to smaller, but more precise bits of information gathering.
Many of the studies also talk about how reading a novel has no impact because of its immersive experience, even with digital distractions of modern devices.

Oh, that's going to end SO well.
It may not explain the entire effect, but I can note one element at play in this - the human ability to create mental maps aids in retention of information.
I expect most of us have experienced this effect. When you are trying to look up something in a hardcopy document you've referenced before, like the PHB - maybe you looked in the index for a page number, but maybe you just flipped through the book until you found the page that looked right. Your brain stored how the information you wanted was right after that page with a picture in the upper-right corner, or the like.
That association gives you an extra handle on the data that can aid retention even when you don't have the book at hand. This is one reason wny good graphic design in our game books is about more than whether a particular piece of art is to our liking. The graphic design provides the "landmarks" upon which we build our mental maps.
Unfortunately, we humans associate this with the physicality of the document. We don't flip through pdfs or scrolling web pages the same way, and so we don't form as solid a mental map of the contents, which reduces retention.

I kind of like it better without the final chapter (it is a little more biting)

Many Gen Xers are prone to disruptive bouts of joy and euphoria that can only be nullified by reading a Kurt Loder article
