Reading on the Web

Reminded me of University;

"A 2003 Nielsen warning asserted that a PDF file strikes users as a "content blob," and they won't read it unless they print it out. A "booklike" page on screen, it seems, turns them off and sends them away"

And the reams and reams of paper I wasted because I couldnt, absolutely couldnt, read a PDF file or a scanned book from the screen. I had to print all twenty odd pages of each of dozens of files, move a few yards away from the computer, and read them there.

Also, I skipped the vast majority of that article.
