Forget the paperless office!
I finally figured out why I hate reading documents on a screen. I knew I hated it before but couldn’t quite put my finger on the reason. It’s the quality of the text. When you read a document on screen, the text quality is compromised. On paper, the text is much easier to read. I was printing out the new 402-page Apple Human Interface Guidelines and thought “do I really need to print this?”. I printed a few pages and found that reading it on paper was much better for me than reading it on a good LCD monitor.

I totally agree with you. I have always had a hard time reading on the computer, however recently I have gotten better at it. How, I don’t know.. but it does not bother me as much anymore.
I guess every time I print something I think about what a waste it is. I see it on the screen, print it, read it and then throw it away. Makes me feel like I am littering for no reason.
