Recently Danny Bloom told the MEDIALOPER blog's editor Kirk that we might need or find useful a new word for READING on paper surfaces VS reading on screens, and listed two words that have already been suggested to him by interested observers: screening, and screading.

Kirk wrote back to him to say: "Thanks Danny. You make an interesting point. I tend to think the word will
have to evolve organically as digital reading environments evolve. If for
no other reason, because not all screens are the same. Reading on a
computer is obviously different from reading a printed book. But what about
an eInk display? That experience is different from both a book and a
computer. We may need more than one more word to describe all of the
different types of reading we'll have in the future."

And then Danny replied to Kirk: "yes, you are right, and I agree, ---- screen reading is diff for
computer screens and E-Ink screens and with many gadgets out there now
and more soon, we might need MORE than just one new word....and YES,
it must happen organically and naturally, we cannot just coin a word
and make it stick...and i agree.......But the time to start thinking
and talking about these new terms and tossing sample ideas around is
NOW........but the new word or terms won't really HAPPEN until they
are meant to happen, maybe 10 years from now, maybe 2025, but they
will happen....MAYBE.....reading IS reading, and maybe the word
READING will remain but with new meanings....Esther Dyson told me
that! CAN YOU BLOG ON THIS IDEA, what I said, what you said, and ask
readers to say what they want to say about this..JUST to keep the
discussions going? Maybe ask readers of your blog: what do THEY think
about new words for
screen reading
Kindle reading
Nook reading
etc.

did you know KINDLING is already a verb at www.UrbanDictionary.com and
also NOOKING, too., go look
