Abstract [en]

The article discusses modes of reading that emerge from reading situationsthat involve literary digital interfaces and digital audiobooks. Building onanalyses of sensorial characteristics of the act of reading a digital audiobook and aliterary digital app, respectively, the article presents and defines the concept of multisensoryreading. This concept emphasizes the literary work’s material and performative features, as well as the experienced reading situation. The authors explore how the digital literary interface changes reading situations and argue that newreading habits create a need to renegotiate what it means to read in a digital age.In particular, sensory aspects can be understood as integrally involved in what theyterm the digital reading condition.
