Nakamura is identifying that as a multidimensional construct, the New Yorker iPad version has failed on multiple dimensions. Instead of supporting uptake, it only supports a passive experience. The New Yorker iPad version does meet the exigence of its public. Likewise it does not support turning media into a commodity, because it does not easily allow for content to be reproduced or transferred (Miller 68). In contrast Nakamura describes Goodreads successfully functioning as a multidimensional construct. She gives the example of the Goodreads app, which has “a barcode reader to facilitate user’s entering of books into their virtual bookshelf[ves],” the platform also “automatically generates invitations to existing friends on” Goodreads, which you can share these shelves with (Nakamura 239-240). The Goodreads app clearly mediates well between its intention and its public’s exigence, as it makes using the site and uptaking books easy.

The distinction between “book” and “street” smart are important. Important because you can not just study all day and not experience life, nor can you experience life and encounter everyday struggles and not study or read a book. There has to be a balance of the two. Both being very important as we read “The hoods would turn on you if they sensed you were putting on airs over them: “Who you looking at, smart ass?” as a leather-jacketed youth once said to me as he relieved me of my pocket change along with my self-respect.” If Graff would have experienced the life in the “hood” he would have known that they do not like to be put down or hear you are doing better than they are.

I love to read. Reading for me is relaxation. At times, it pertains to my job or my education, but it has always been something I enjoy doing. Do I purchase a book to read in hard copy or do I download to my reader. I am a traveler, so my Kindle makes my reading so much more convenient. Also there are books where I just want to read for fun, and probably never pick up again, so why should I purchase? I do not need to but every book I like, but I come from a family of book collectors. We cherish the printed material, not to “mark” up, but to have the shelves full of books that represent the world surrounding us. Some are the markers of where my parents took their lives when unable to travel; others are mementos of part of my family history.

Kindle’s remediate books but improve certain features, inclusive of altering typography style and size, offering highlighting tools, built in dictionaries and allowing the reader to purchase new books through the device (Hitt 2013). Since its introduction in 2007, approximately 43.7 million Kindle e-readers have been sold as of late 2014 (Trefis Team 2014). The Kindle does not seek to replace physical books; rather it uses technological convergence to store dense digital information on small, portable physical spaces. This isn’t to say that new mediums have replaced older formats altogether; on the contrary, they have altered them to suit the change in how we communicate.

And books are a tactile experience, meaning they are supposed to be experienced through touch and smell (especially for the old books). A book is meant to be an experience that can have depressions and elevations on the cover and text, feeling the weight of the pages as you turn them and all of these elements when combined make a book what it is, but when you read an e-book you are exposed to digitized text and a screen. And it’s been proven that when people are exposed to screens of TVs or computers they are less likely to have a good night sleep. On a web poll about e-books vs. books one person commented, ‘I've tried reading a few e-books but I've always given up. I just don't like looking at digitized text when I'm reading a novel.
