Hi, Greg.

I don't think this exactly what you're looking for, but are you familiar
with the work of Mark Bernstein at Eastgate.com in promoting hypertext
fiction?  I know there have been several conferences/workshops at which
writers have discussed how their craft has changed upon moving from
conventional word processors to hypertext editors (such as Eastgate's
Tinderbox product).  This is not exactly iPad vs. laptop, but it certainly
may be of interest to your friend, particularly as these same people are now
migrating to iPad, iPhone and other platforms?

As an aside, I'm interested in making this transition myself, so I'd
appreciate any insights from hypertext authors off-list.

Best wishes,
Gordon Titchener

Hello, all,
A friend of mine who is a writer of fiction is wondering about the effects
on one's prose of writing on an iPad v. desktop/laptop, and was looking for
either studies that have been done, or anecdotal accounts from (literary)
writers. So far most of the anecdotal stuff out there is about which apps to
use, and few are reflecting on if there are changes to one's writing. And
it's probably too soon for any systematic research to have been done. But I
thought I'd check.

Cheers,

Greg
