huh. I agree that choosing to read something is different than watching tv or a movie. but I’m not so sure about the “surfing the internet” part…
to me it’s not so much the format, as it is the story being told. i just want my words and i’ll take them in whatever form is convenient at the moment -
ie. i’ll read a regular book on the subway because i don’t have a computer or internet access then, but i’ll read a story on my computer at work ’cause it’s less conspicuous than holding a book. Even if I am a librarian.
