It's true. Your eye doesn't want to travel all the way across this monitor and back to read this text. Millions of dollars have been spent and thousands of reading studies have clearly established ideal reading widths, font sizes, and leading.
Frankly most eBooks have total ignored the research and for sure most Internet web sites have.
See below how you can easily read on-screen from now on when you use the Reader's Screen option to personalize your reading experience with the FREE CD.
Is This A Ridiculous Example? You Decide.

Well, if you've spent much time on the Internet, you know this isn't actually a ridiculous example of hard to read text at all. It's all too common. But unfortunately it is incredibly hard to read.

When you design web pages, you either predetermine the width of the text, or use what we call 100%.
I'm sure you run into lots of pages that expand with text all the way across your monitor. I think they are unreadable.
But, you'll find lots of reading material including eBooks that's spread across your screen like this. Let's move down to some 'readable' text.
By the way, this is a page from the incredible Age of Fable by Bulfinch. If you want to know about mythology. This is the place to look. My Malamute was named after this Norse god. Loki is a very special favorite name for me.
OK, Here's A 500 Pixel Wide Like My Site.
This is the maximum width that I use on this website. I only use it with bigger type like on this page. It's only about 500 pixels wide. It is readable, but not the best.

Again, you'll find that most website literature is this wide or wider and that well, it is tiring to read.
Note: Most websites don't indent paragraphs. Reading studies have clearly shown that this isn't good for ease of reading or retention.
So, eBooks and websites need to use the science that's been generated to improve the reading experience for you. Again this screen is from Bulfinch's Mythology and my Malamute Loki really did live up to his namesake.
Ah - Isn't This Better? Just Like A Newspaper.

OK, now we're cooking. If you check your local newspaper, or any of the magazines you get, you'll find that they all use narrow columns.
Study after study has found that because of the saccades of the eye, wide columns of text slow you down and decrease comprehension.
As I've said, millions of dollars and hundreds of years have been spent studying how we read. I have no idea why so many companies have simply ignored all the research.
Frankly if I couldn't set the width of the reading screen to suit me, I probably wouldn't read on-screen even if I could get the 5000 eBook titles for free. :)
You Get Automatic Reading Too.
It Scrolls.
Click Me To See

OK, so now that the column is set to a comfortable easy on-the-eye width that aids in comprehension, how about scrolling the text for us so that we can set back, and relax while we read.
Just click AutoScroll, select a comfortable speed and enjoy. It's a great way to concentrate on what you're reading, and not 'turning pages'.
Compare And Contrast. It's Easy.
OK, you want to compare to authors, two treatments of the subject, or two timelines. Now it's easy.
You can open up to 7 reading screens at once. Now you can have screen 300 open in one work, and screen 210 in another.
It's easy to see parallels, differences and really get a firm idea of the way different authors treat a subject.
This is a very powerful way to study any subject you are interested in. And you can bookmark, copy and print from any of the open books. This is one powerful information gathering reading researching system.
Easy On Your Eyes Fonts And Sizes.
OK, so why not adjust the screen fonts the way you want them? It's easy. Just click on Font Options and you can select any of the Fonts and sizes shown.
Now you can customize your reading experience to fit your exact taste.
Pick bold or regular. Read at 36 point or 10 point. It's up to you. And since we are all different, you'll be able to optimize the screen to your exact preference, not the preference of some company sales person.
This Big Or Anywhere In Between.
Search It. Read it. Know it. Enjoy it. Click To Get all 5000 titles On THE FREE CD on your own computer.
OK, this is really big. In fact it's 36 point. At this size you'd probably want to widen the screen. But whether you are visually challenged or simply like seeing big type, you can set the type this big or anywhere in between.
What is really important about seeing how big the font can be is that it clearly shows that you will be in complete control of your reading environment.
