Just having to find the colored text and click on it is tedious on the eyes. Third, it is easy to get lost when following a hypertext link, and the following another link from that first link, then another link, and so on. Very soon, the user forgets where he started and might have to resort to clicking the back button numerous times to get back to where he was. Finally, there are always the problems of the accuracy of the information in the Hypertext links. However, practically anyone can link to information through Hypertext, and no one knows whether or not that information has been approved for viewing.
Problems can arise with copyrights, and authors can lose a lot of money.
All things considered, I still prefer books to Hypertext for reading large amounts of text. It is easier on the eyes to focus on a paper page than a computer screen. Taking a book off its shelf and flipping the pages, to me, takes less effort than turning on my computer, getting online, and typing and clicking to no end. Hypertext is useful for reading two or three paragraphs at a time, and it may even make searching for things less difficult because it reduces effort for the reader, in some cases. It is definitely a valuable part of the World Wide Web.
