"Finally, the terminology surrounding the device itself is quite interesting and raises some very interesting questions. For example, if the Sony Reader is the “reader,” and the human reader is the “user,” there is a slippage here that occurs in meaning of the word “reader.” Typically—although obviously not exhaustively or exclusively—defined as a human activity performed with an object (a book, for example), “reading” here is something done by the hardware which displays digital texts. While this is, in part, a tongue-and-cheek use of the term that most likely has its genesis in marketing strategy, it nevertheless introduces an important philosophical question for us to consider: is reading an online or digital work an exclusively human activity? Or must reading now be understood as a system of interaction between a variety of human and non-human agents?"

This person(professional student?) should go get a real job!
