One thing that has been pointed out in the article is how inline links can be exteremly distracting. They encourage you to take a break in the middle of reading something and go read something else. One thing I've found helpful is in readability[1] which can take inline links and make them footnotes. I've also made a Drupal module[2] which acts as an input filter so you can do inline links as you write (to not break up your flow of writing) and have them automatically be turned into footnotes (which will work with WYSIWYG and Markdown as well). It's really nice and I've found it's something that help promotes a reading style which is more linear.
