Blank spaces, are an old habit that we have on LCD screens. On a computer screen it is much easier to read this way, but on a reading device no blank spaces and indenting is the closest choice to a real book.

It's still easier on my LCD COMPUTER SCREEN to read with no line spaces and proper indents.

I dare you to stay on the same 8pt.line with a 23"wide display!

I have a 20.1" LCD monitor running at 1600x1200.

I read three lines across the screen at 8pt size and read it just fine. I can see small stuff pretty good except letter/A4 PDF on the Sony Reader as it renders it not all that clear.

JSWolf · 06-20-2007, 02:15 PM

Hmmm. I think I was guessing you were about 13 years older than me, I was under by 6.

Good eyes you've got there, I doubt I could do what you're describing, and I thought my eyes were pretty good.

My eyes see really well close up. I do have glasses for distance. I wear them mostly for driving. But I do see not too bad in the distance. Have togo get my eyes checked sometime next year for sure. Been a while since I've done so.
