The "Inanimate Alice" project is a great, original idea but I have little appeal for it as I like traditional reading (novels) better :). I have actually tried out one of the episodes but personally, I don't find it that interesting.
"Inanimate Alice" has many features including being interactive with the character Alice, containing use of multimedia, the story is spilt by episodes and kids get to grow with Alice. I think these features will be attractive to young readers.
E-literature has many possible disadvantages with it.
Some include:
- Making kids become addicted to using their computers due too much online reading.
- Needing the internet to read online
- May stop avid readers from reading novels
Reading online wouldn't really be that different from traditional reading as you're still actually reading and taking in information, e-literature is still a form of reading, people can still enjoy online reading as much as normal reading and both can make a person a casual reader.
.
Besides "Inanimate Alice", I have never come across any other form of digital literature but I might see more in the near future as technology becomes more and more advanced.
Personally, I think there is absolutely no difference "e-reading" and normal reading except for the fact that e-reading is on a computer while normal reading is in books. As stated before, people can still be enticed by reading, online or not and you're still actually reading
