I had kinda suspected this just based on my own experience of paper vs screen, but hadn’t run across any research.

After seeing your comment I went looking! I found this interesting: https://phys.org/news/2024-02-screens-paper-effective-absorb...

There's some others about learning more from writing with pen on paper compared to tablet or taking notes digitally typing.

I am a digital note taker at heart but can't deny using a notebook still has better outcomes sometimes.

Probably true but I'm not going to lug 10 textbooks onto a plane.

For sure, that would be a backpack that is too big as a carry on.
