| Summary: | Unusually in a review, the first comments need to be directed to the medium of publication itself.

The main advantages of this ought to be the ability to use media other than monochrome graphics (such as colour, video and sound) and the availability of hyperlinks, which provide freedom from the serial structure of text. The disadvantages are that reading from a screen can be very tiresome and referencing, in a formal way, is made more difficult by the lack of page numbers etc. |
