I'd be interested to know, (though I doubt this study could tell me), whether there is any difference in what might be thought of of the aesthetics of reading between different reading devices. The construction of a story world from the meagre prompts of a text, the way in which the construction of the text constrains the building of story worlds, how readers represent story worlds, and so on are all issues in theory of literature and are (nearly) all based on the assumption that presentation of literature is in a particular format . namely a paper book. What difference does it make to these processes if the format of presentation is changed I wonder.
