1. An experiment in reading comics on screen

    Posted by Shane Becker on 

    <p>I had Secret Invasion on my subscription at The Dreaming (my local comic shop), but I was hearing really good things. So I wanted to read it sooner rather than later.</p>

<p>I decided to try the download / read on screen approach. I  read all 8 issues that way and was unsatisfied. I think it was mainly because I was on a 15 inch MacBook. If I was on a 30+ inch screen, it'd prolly be ok. There was way to much zoom and pan that I had to do.</p>

<p>At 100% zoom, I could read the text, but  I couldn't see the whole page. Zoomed to see the whole page, I couldn't read the text.</p>

<p>Altogether the experiment was a success in learning that ready comics on my computer is a fail.</p>

<p>That is all.</p>

    Earlier. Woke to feed dog & go pee. Did it w/o my glasses on. Went back to sleep. The rest of my dreams were blurry from no glasses. Weird.
