چکیده
Critics of hypertext have long expressed skepticism about whether people could or indeed ever would sit down at a screen and read hypertexts. They may cite the more general problems of reading from the computer screen (see, for example, [25]) or they may place the blame partially at the feet of the authors (see, for example, Birkerts’ indictment of hypertext fiction [8][2]). Some have even put forth usability arguments, that it’s simply more efficient to use paper texts (see, for example, [24]), thereby avoiding the problematic idea of reading altogether.
