The practice of reading has undergone numerous transformations throughout history which has resulted in a series of changes in the practices and discourses about it. The emergence of digital contents and the creation of an ecosystem around them has generated profound transformations in a tradition of centuries, making available new models of production and reception in which the individual, self-absorbed and concentrated practice is complemented with algorithmic systems in which the essential relies on the underlying models of thousands of works, rather than on one in particular. Socialization and editorializing of the web represent two of the major trends in digital reading.
