DaveS, I didn't say a new word is REQUIRED. I just asked, might perhaps maybe a new word be BENEFICIAL to scholars and researchers studying these issues, in order to different the two reading modes, paper and screen. BENEFICIAL is the key word, and beneficial not to you or me, but to scholars and researchers. Yes no maybe?

THAT is the question.
