A friend asked me if I could print a manual he had downloaded in pdf format. He explained that he would like to read something printed out in color rather than on his computer screen. My friend knew I had high quality, full color printing equipment to print what he needed. After printing the manual I decided to drill and insert it into a binder. My friend was more than impressed and offered me $20.00 for my efforts.
I started to wonder if this was an isolated occurrence or if there might be others that preferred to read a hand held manual instead of squinting at a computer monitor through the entire thing.

Comments please

Thank you,
Larry

    There are still people that prefer to read book / magazine style. I would say there is probably less strain or your eyes also compared to looking at a computer.
    For me personally, either format is ok.

    Oh ya there are many people out there that still like to read off paper and not the screen. The glare and the light hurts peoples eyes. For me it doesn't matter. I read it off the screen if I'm at the computer and read a book if I'm not at a computer.

    I personally like to read off paper as opposed to off the screen, but I spend many hours at the computer, so it is a break for me to read it in a different format. This is one reason I've not given in to the Kindle craze just yet.

    I prefer reading printed-out materials as well, it feels more like, you know, reading. Besides, I really can't afford to sit in front of a computer screen for a very long time due to radiation concerns and concerns about my eyesight.
