'Tis true, for my head at least. Scanning large sections quickily is opften
easier when you can flip across pages, or visually scan for subhead fonts.
There seems to be a difference in ease of reading when the letters are on a
screen vs. hard copy. Do they bounce around, chatter, or what?
the computer screen is superior when we want the graphic to be dynamic as well
as close to the text, or when we want to embed cross links for references. Or
when we want to serch for a specific word or phrase.
