How do you read your PDFs?

[Darrell]

My general track is to look 'em over on the computer first. If the pdf is good, I print it, then store the pdf on a CD (in case I ever need to print it again), delete it from my hard drive, and have the printed material bound. If I don't like the pdf, I just get rid of it altogether.

By and large, I use print-only materials for gaming; and pdfs exist SOLELY for the purpose of providing me something to print out. <Here, it might help to imagine me rattling the rust on my fists as I shake them.> I don't believe in reading from a screen, and never NEVER NEVER use resources like name/NPC/monster generators that only exist online. Computers are not welcome at my game table; only character sheets, dice, and the PHB for players (and ya better not expect to refer to that PHB every five minutes, either), and a DM screen and DMG/MM/this week's adventure for me.

Print only, thank y'very much.

Regards,
Darrell

I voted 1, since I have printed out the occasional PDF.

I find reading them on the screen much easier after Phil Reed mentioned that he has a flat screen which swivels so he can read them in "portrait" rather then "landscape".

Of course, my flat screen monitor doesn't swivel, so I have to balance it on its side instead. I'm sure its going to slip and break one day, at which point I'll be cursing Phil

I read all of mine on the computer, but I will print out relevent pages prior to PnP games...just so I don't have to cart around all my books, just the juicy bits.

I also got tired of Adobe taking forever to load up everytime I open a .pdf so I switched to foxit reader. It's more responsive and much less resource intensive.
