FWIW, I don't think the experiences in the article have all that much to do with ebook technology per se. Rather, people are developing shorter attention spans, and some find the multitasking experience more thrilling -- even though it actually degrades tasks like reading comprehension and cognitive efficiency.

Also, I'm not sure when there was a time when an author really had the leisure to wait 30 pages before hooking the reader.
