Am I the only one who finds the intermixture of video and text distracting [in the "read online" version, I haven't tried the .epub]?

Maybe I'm too old school, but I find the context switch jarring when I am reading and click for the next segment, and am met with more A/V. I have different mechanisms for ingesting content, almost in a "introspective" versus "extraspective" distinction (study time versus lectures highlight this distinction).

Hi -

I turned autoplay off; that may make it less jarring. I also have an old-school approach to reading, but "the kids these days" seem to like the videos..

Thanks for the input. Jon

Thank you for the fix, thank you for the quick response, and thank you for putting your content online.

I hope it proves to be a catalyst for the next great idea.
