Abstract
In the development of new research environments, hardware has often been neglected.
E-readers have (reasonably) successfully been developed for leisurely reading, but
reading with the goal of writing demands a different approach. This bibliography has
been written to inform the INKE research group on physical aspects of digital scholarly
reading. It consists of two parts: a hardware section, including a description of
commercial e-readers as well as an overview of academically developed digital reading
devices and a software section, also including commercially available packages next to
academically developed reading environments which allow for flexible manipulation of
text and other modalities; as well as reflections on digital scholarly reading. Combined,
the two sections inform an integrated approach in the development of new research
environments.
