[QUOTE="Aitch Eye, post: 151513, member: 385"] The problem is, as I print them out, it keeps going through my head that "Those are really using up a lot of ink..." again and again, as each page comes out of the machine, like the steady beat of wardrums coming out of the depths. And most complaints about the ink use of PDFs have always seemed exagerated to me. There's also the issue that inkjet paper is thicker than the paper in published books, so the document gets bulkier. (Not that filling every bit of space with text will always be good for readability.) If nothing else, it would be nice if borders were only along one edge -- maybe the inside one if it's designed for double sided printing, as it's using up the extra space for the binding gutter. But they still draw your eye away from the visual cues in the text (like bullets, indentations, subheadings) when you scan through it for particular pieces of information. [/QUOTE]
