本文提供了动手阅读(https://hands-on-reading.atnu.ncl.ac.uk/login)的开发案例研究，这是一个网络应用程序，探索数字阅读和写作之间的相互联系。这款应用程序是英国AHRC资助的“Manuscripts after Print c.1450-1550: Producing and Reading Books during Technological Change”项目的一部分，该项目于2019年2月至2020年7月期间在纽卡斯尔大学进行。它最初的设计是为了让该项目能够提出两个关键问题:为什么手写在数字时代具有持久的相关性;一种更亲历亲为的阅读方式能让人们更深入地阅读电子文本吗?然而，正如本文所展示的，这个应用程序的创建和测试也提出了一些概念问题和与DH社区更广泛相关的技术挑战，特别是关于阅读和写作实践是否可以翻译到数字世界的问题。
