	abstract = {This article discusses how the rise of digital books has created an opportunity for social reading. However, because ebooks are currently read on various and unconnected platforms, this opportunity to connect readers has yet to be leveraged. Cook and Cook propose in this article the creation of a multi-platform reading application called "Book Bench." Book Bench facilitates social reading by combining "the convenience of Kindle highlights with the discussion capability of Goodreads." Cook and Cook argue that it is important to promote real-time reading interactions where individuals discuss the book as they read rather than only once they have finished the text - encouraging people to connect "inside the pages of a book." They argue that this is the future of reading. },
