E-book (2)
It is tempting to think that the medium doesn’t matter, that what matters is the content. But that would be a fallacy. There are several reports stating that the medium has an influence on our concentration ability. Allegedly, people reading on paper are able to retain more information that the ones reading on screen. Other reports assert that the reason lies in the fact that humans need a physical object in order to build an emotional relationship. That wouldn’t be possible with a digital book.
Of course digital books have a lot of undeniable advantages. So, why cannot we make use of the best of both worlds? Some readers prefer using a screen for reads at work, or for some theoretically quicker and shallower ones (such as science-fiction or detective novels). For more difficult matters they would rather go for a paper edition.
Nevertheless, I have serious doubts that science-fiction and detective novels can be classified that way!

This is fine, but I would write "ability to concentrate."

Also consider "those" for "the ones"

Using read as a countable noun this way is clearer and more common if it follows an adjective, e.g. "a difficult read."

I might use a concrete noun like "readers" here instead of the pronoun
