yes, medium has influence on understanding of language content, on 
several levels.
When reading from book or screen we usualy use different
codes: underlined word means something different in print (emphasize)
than on screen (link) - this is stil valid if sreen content (or e-book) 
is printed -
we are aware of this and if we joust get print we are usualy able to 
reconstruct that
content is screen based. Underlining of the word opens different content 
isuses and
different expectations.

And there is a lot of elements like this (for example: sreen
based text might change if we 'touch' it with mouse - we don't expect 
this in book, ...)
