Acceptability to readers

There is also the issue of adequacy once the users have learnt to accept a hypertext system. For people seeking more information (say, after an initial exposure to a tourist information kiosk), the restrictive design of the application may pose a limitation (say, the tourist would like to know, immediately, about some good restaurants near a place of historic interest) - in fact, the display may not be large enough to display more details without chunking information. An overview mechanism (for browsers) and a query mechanism (for information seekers) may be more appropriate in such a situation.
