Our definition does not limit itself to electronic text; hypertext is not inherently tied to technology, content, or medium. It is an organizational form which may just as readily be delivered on paper as electronically. Thus, Sterne's
Tristram Shandy is no less a hypertext than Joyce's
Afternoon. The latter we would term a
hyperbook.
