E-Readers and Digital Texts vs. Print Books and Print Reading

If you want to research your first short paper on e-readers as digital text delivery systems, you might start with these differing e-reader reviews,

David Carnoy, "Amazon Kindle Oasis review: The best e-reader ever, but the sky-high price hurts its appeal,"CNET, updated, May 2, 2016, and

Nicholson Baker, "A New Page: Can the Kindle Really Improve on the Book?," The New Yorker, August 3, 2009.

Note that, because Carnoy's article is "born digital," you might, by now, read a later "edition" of the e-book reader comparison than the one I linked to originally. You may not be able to read the original unless you know how to excavate if from the Internet's "archives" of past Web pages. You may read Baker in the hyperlinked web version (blue underscore above) but that version has not been updated. Why not? How does The New Yorker treat Baker's writing differently from the way CNET treats Carnoy's writing?

What did you encounter while reading either article online that you did not intend to see, and how did that afferct your ability to follow what Carnoy and Baker were saying? As always in this course, keep track of your reading experience as differing textual storage media affect it.
