So non-traditional publishers provide a great service by keeping titles available for longer time frames. All of their titles are still in print and available as they simply create a new disk for each order. This avoids the inventory squeeze that traditional print books face. Hypertexts allow writers to move well beyond the one, linear dimension in traditional books. Hypertexts provide links on each page, so readers can explore the texts and their connections.
Readers can follow one character through the book or click on theme words.
Thus each reading is completely different. There are so many different ways to write in hypertext that authors create their own individual genres. This incredible vista of opportunties means that each new work can break new theoretical ground. Also, since the field is so new, there are a lot of opportunities for visibility. I have spoken at universities, conferences, and conventions.
