I wrote a paper last month for a graduate class in education about the use of ebooks and related technologies in reading literature, including the processes of annotation, interpretation, and community sharing described by Dennis Sumara in Why Reading Literature in School Still Matters. I've mentioned this paper a few times in some threads here, and I was asked for more info, so I've just put the whole thing up on my CV website: http://gaeabooks.com/dalton - click on "Publications & Documents". Or download it directly: http://gaeacoop.org/dalton/publicati...May_Matter.pdf

It's not short, but I like to think it's pretty accessible. Mobileread gets a mention on p. 22.

Comments welcome. The course is over and the paper has been handed in, but the ideas, if they have merit, may be worth discussing here. I'd be quite interested to know what others think.
