- Filtering: “In constructive hyper-reading, the selection criteria employed often govern the reader’s interest before the texts are even found. Once these criteria are activated, readers can raid the texts uncovered by their search engines in order to assemble their details as ANOTHER text which is, so to speak, re-authored by the reader” (166).
- Skimming: “less of the text is actually read” (167)
- Pecking: “The coherence of ‘the text’ in constructive hyper-reading…is more the result of the reader than of the writer. As a consequence, pecking is an entirely suitable technique. In constructive hyper-reading the reader govern the reading and imposes coherence by reassembling textual fragments as a newly created text that often displaces the intention the authors of the textual fragments incorporated in it may have had” (168).
- Imposing: “In constructive hyper-reading, there is no doubt that the reader is in charge and that the text is subversive to the reader’s wish. Such hyper-readers impose their frameworks on the texts they peruse” (169).
- Filming: “In the construction of hyper(mediated)texts…graphics often play a more meaningful role than words. Hyper-readers turn the graphics on web pages into virtual montages using conventions similar to cinematic ones” (169).
- Trespassing: “Hyper-readers are textual burglars. They break into electronic texts and once they have found the source codes hidden from sight, steal them away with their cut&paste tools and reassemble them…in their own home pages” (170).
- De-authorizing: “By virtually reassembling texts, they dismiss the authors’ intentions by replacing them with their own, thus de-authorizing texts altogether” (170).
- Fragmenting: “many hyper-readers may be more comfortable selecting textual details and reassembling them in their own virtual frameworks than using the frameworks imposed upon them” (171).
Sosnoski states that hypertextual reading “differs from reading printed texts or expository hypertexts” (163). He makes assertions about the characteristics of hyper-readers:
