These are the questions constantly asked about electronic books and electronic reading. Do you read electronically? Do you like it? It is just for convenience? Don’t you miss the paper? This week, on Afterwords, Uma takes you through the pros and cons of reading digitally.


Show Notes:


i. For a great example of how the e-book can enhance a classic text, check out the app version of T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland. It is such a rich literary experience that it almost justifies buying an iPad.

ii. There’s also a great digital version of Kerouac’s On the Road by Penguin. Check out the trailer for the app here
