I'm looking at getstart.pdf on a 14" monitor in 800x600 now, and at a zoom level of 200% in kpdf, there is still margin on the sides to zoom more. In that resolution and zoom, a capital letter in the running text is about 5--6mm tall. (Same size as the letters on my keyboard tops and more than twice the size of common newspaper print) When the day comes when I cannot even read that anymore, I better invest in a pair of reading glasses. > Under the same conditions html reformats to fit.
