Hi Mark!

That's right -- I'm a Brit!

Great! Thanks! I've added that to the TiddlyPocketBook code:

My eyes are aging too, but wondered about making the default
print stylesheet smaller, to be credit card sized.
That way it would fit on both A4 and Letter paper.

On the Mac I've experienced vagaries of paper scaling when printing
from
Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Guess this will improve as support for
CSS3
features improves in browsers.

Ah, that seems tricky, I'll see if I can surface the selection of the
Page size as an option, in the meantime I've extracted the switch
into a new tiddler StyleSheetPrintPage tiddler:

Thanks for the contribution!
