One way to dream up post-book media to make reading more effective and meaningful is to systematize "expert" practices (e.g. How to Read a Book), so more people can do them, more reliably and more cheaply. But… the most erudite people I know don't actually do those things!

There's a funny response curve: folks who are super-diligent about note-taking practices or building simulations seem to generally end up with less insight than their somewhat-less-diligent neighbors.
Maybe it's a explore/exploit thing? Or maybe just a wonk/gestalt thing?

The best theory I have is something like: it takes so much effort to do these "expert" reading practices now that such readers burn their willpower and mental energy on running those processes, rather than on the ideas themselves.
But I don't know! Gives me pause!

But... that’s not all that far from history, and it’s still not so far from the state of the art

I made this video about explorations I did related to post book media. However I’m more focused on making books more accessible to non readers as opposed to bringing the practices of super readers to normal people. m.youtube.com/watch?v=CIwi5D

I was submitting it to an event that required a video. I was planning on converting it to a piece of writing.

Sounds like a macro/micro thing too. You miss the forest for the trees when you take notes while reading.
