In future posts I'm going to look at examples of the design of books, and as well as other media. My interest is in better understanding how people create and use authored media and how it can be designed to better support existing and future uses. In particular, I'm interested in
+ reading is a reflective activity, not just an experiential one
+ intended vs. actual usage and interpretation of authored works
+ reading as construction rather than instruction
+ reading as collaborative, not just individual
+ relationship between content and format
+ continuous acquisition(flowing narrative without breaks) vs. discontinuous acquisition
+ linear acquisition(read from start to finish, only one proper navigation) vs. non-linear acquisition
+ affordances of paper and electronic media
