Reading in a browser is as bad.

And yet so many people aren't negatively influenced by that. For one thing, if it's a *short* story, there's nothing preventing you from paging through to find out how much farther you have to read - for that story. For another, you're supposed to be concentrating upon enjoying the story,
not fretting over how many pages you have left in it.
I mean, yeah, each to his own tastes, but that is, in my opinion, a rather silly thing to aggravate over.
