"Digital Capabilities is a significant and timely contribution. Its insistence on treating communication as a matter of justice rather than efficiency is both politically and intellectually valuable. ... More broadly, it serves as a reminder that in places where inequality is overdetermined by history, identity, religion, and violent conflict-such as Israel and the West Bank-media technologies can neither save nor doom society." (Tamar Ashuri , International Journal of Communication, Vol. 20, 2026)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
