The following information comes from a post Richard Watson made to the
Riven Lyst.
A linking book can only link when the book is pressed and made with the
right materials, using the right type of ink, and using the right words
to create the link. If this is all true... Then how does the Selenetic
book work. It's just an image on a screen? How does that link work? You
never touch the book, much less... does a book even exist?
The D'ni stories of Atrus mention that the Linking Book to Selenitic was
powered by machinery, but does not describe that machinery in any detail.
We used the ship's screen to represent that.
