How do you read your PDFs?

[Valesin]

My option isn't really listed: I print out at least part of every pdf I have, but never the whole thing. Sometimes it is a page, sometimes a quarter of the total, but usually about 10% gets printed out.

I voted #2 out of 10, which, interestingly, seems to be getting the most votes (at least when I voted).

I've printed a few out, but I mostly read them on the screen. :\

I print out a lot of mine, mainly because my CRT is dying and causes me eye problems.

I've only printed out a handful of PDFs, including the custom compilation I made of the Uthmere series of articles I put into one document. The only printed pdf I get the most use out of is Ink & Quill.

Just a poll construction note. Since you do not describe each answer offering, your results will be skewed as people guess whether to answer 1, 2 or 3 for "sometimes", etc. When making a poll, offer only clearly defined answers that are mutually exclusive in meaning.

I want as many answers and as few "there's no choice for" as possible. And while the results may be more skewed to the described numbers, I see no reason to think that the shape of the responses will be significantly skewed.

The poll was specificly about your PDF reading not just the percentage you have printed, so there is definitly an option for you. Even if you print them all, if half of your actual reading of them is done on a screen its "5" for instance.

Edit : I can see how my quick poll answer construction could give the opposite impression - that its about what percentage actually get printed. Sorry about that.

In that case I would say that it is 50/50.

I read them on the screen. I realized printing them costs more than the books cost used. And even if you print them for free at work (naughty naughty) it's still time consuming.

Unfortunately, here's a "no choice for": Do not use PDF's at all. That'd be me. I don't have that kind of technology...

Thought about adding that, but the list was so long already... And, well... that means you don't have a response to the question, really, right? But I know folks like to vote.
