Re:Gutenberg and www

Dear All,

An enthusiasm of electronic publication in relation with paper-based
publication...


"Hot Links and Cool Sites: How Do You Make an Electronic Journal Readable"?
especially on "electronic publication" by Steven Pamberton (1995):

"Common complaints about electronic publications include that they are not
as readable as paper publications (and there is research to back this up,
for instance [4]
<https://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/sigchi/elec-pub/#REF25181>, [8]
<https://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/sigchi/elec-pub/#REF26766>), that they
don't feel so nice to use, and that you can't take them with you to read in
the train [7] <https://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/sigchi/elec-pub/#REF29218>.

Some of these complaints will disappear soon enough, and are only a
function of technical constraints..."

Another source which is a proceeding titled "Electronic Publishing" as part
of a workshop at the 1st International WWW Conference 1994 by Steven
Pemberton:

and the Web-related activities":
