[A long and in-depth article which ends appropriately at the eBook: "The eBook isn't about winning or losing. It's about an 'exploration,' and experience, rather like a pop-up book.

Regina Townsend: "Reading is what we do when we want to leave our world for a while and dip into someone else’s. It’s where we go to get away and be fully immersed into another person’s life. Better than just using our imaginations, why not add to the experience by creating one that spans beyond just the book?"

[This in-depth article accompanies the publication of The Electric Information Age Book: Mcluhan/Agel/Fiore and the Experimental Paperback. "Ultimately, The Electric Information Age Book is about what made this collaborative book innovation — which McLuhan called “the mosaic of instantaneous communication,” “the process rather than the complete product of discovery” — extraordinary at the time, but also about how it paved the way for the tectonic shifts happening in media today, with our customizable iEverything and highly visual neo-magazines a-la-Flipboard."]
