I think many people tend to ignore the medium as well. In a print magazine, I can put it down, or leave it open to the page I'm on and come back to it later. I can do the same online, but sometimes it feels like there's no good stopping point and then I end up half-heartedly skimming the rest just to be done with it.

Also, it was a bit whiny.

whiny and a little pompous... but as you say, reading on line is not as pleasurable as other kinds of reading, for some of us.
