Thanks for these interesting thoughts and ideas @Irene Reid this books certainly sounds like one for my reading list. I like the understanding that each medium has strengths and weaknesses. In recognising the weaknesses of reading in print we are also allowed to focus on the weaknesses of online. It is not either or it is both and both need skills to do it well.
