Abstract
This article considers the role of textual studies in a digital world and reviews the work
of a particular group of digital textual scholars. Specifically, the article examines the
work of the Textual Studies team at the Implementing New Knowledge Environments
project (INKE.ca), a group of digital textual scholars working on user experience,
interface design, and information management with the goal of better understanding
how reading is changing in the context of digital media. INKE’s work rethinks what
the book can become and aims to generate prototypes to be shared on an open-source
basis with the public.
