Here's some search terms that might be helpful: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&q=reading+computer+screen&btnG=Search http://www.google.com/search?hl=&cat=&meta=&num=&ie=utf-8&q=format+online+reading This comes up in one of the searches: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/whyscanning.html And links to: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9710a.html The main thing I remember about the difference between print and screen reading is that serif fonts are recommended for print and sans-serif fonts are recommended for screen. There are probably other good tips floating around out there as well, and probably a lot of concepts translate from print to screen reading, e.g.: - people read faster if their eye doesn't have to travel too far left to right, so narrow columns of text are easier to read - larger text is easier to read - this is even more important for screen reading, as people's eyes tend to get more tired reading from a screen - good contrast between background and text colour makes the text easier to read -- sarah adams web developer & programmer portfolio: http://sarah.designshift.com blog: http://hardedge.ca
