Re: Kindle and its peers

There are a number of online trade mags that I read, but the ones that 
make it easy to navigate are the ones I value most.

I think acceptance of this medium, whether online or on an ebook reader, 
would depend on the value of the interactive elements. If readers turned 
to a spread of a gorgeous container garden, for example, and clicked to 
view step-by-step instructions on how to put it together, or could click 
on "sun" or "shade" to see the same container with plants suited to 
each, that would be a page-turner for me.
