Vassela Howell


Abstract


The digital revolution gave us quick, convenient and instantly accessible information. The e-book is seen by many as natural successor of the paper book. Ever-improving technology aims to make e-readers better and better, so that the reading experience gets closer and closer to that of reading a paper book. But can it ever be the same? This article looks at ways in which the e-book affects how we read and how we process and memorise what we have read. It also discusses how e-books changes our understanding of what a book is, and how tracking readers' behaviour while using digital reading devices may affect book content.
