I can try. I feel that if there was a new word or term for e-reading or screen-reading, then scholars and neuroscientists studying these issues could get a better handle on what and how they report their findings. The new word is not for the general public. We don't need a new word for reading on screens, you are right and I agree. I feel there is a need to differentiate the two kinds of reading -- paper vs screen -- only for scholars and researchers studying the differences. That's all.

NOW what do you think?
