62 The importance of the content (Text content)
Today, more than never, content has to be complete in the internet. Complete means entire. There are too many content in the world and more coming each second. We can’t waste the attention of our visitors. In advertisement, after gotten by a message, the person go after the other informations about the product. When this person access a website he wants to get the entire information. Even if many of our visitor wont read that text, that text has to be there for those who will. How the information is displayed, how easy to find, how easy to find later.

readers, like myself, are still adjusting to on-screen reading. I still feel more comfortable with a hardcopy in my hands instead of staring at a screen. However, recently I bought a new LCD 24” monitor, so staring at the screen is not as bad any more. It makes reading some of the websites more bearable.

What a fantastic article!
This has given me some definite pause for thought about how I build web pages for clients, specifically the manner in which we determine the use for a particular page.
Thanks for the great insight!

“An experienced reader can lose herself in a good text with anything short of a war going on (and, sometimes, even then)—the horticultural equivalent of growing orchids in a desert.”
My boyfriend can’t understand why he can’t talk to me while I’m engrossed in a book. He gets a weird look on his face if I make the impatient noise and look pointedly at him if he’s rambling on about something that requires my attention if I have a book in my hand. This one sentence sums us readers up perfectly!

I am an avid reader, so I can say that reading is not just an activity or a hobby. It is a ‘passion’ that engrosses you so well that you even forget that whether you are reading in your room or at a noisy bar or street. Keeping reading, it not only entertains you but makes you intelligent too!

Thank you for caring about the reader’s experience, though typography is not my thing.

61 not only books
books will become obselete
this is why even the newspapers are sending digital copies of their articles…instead of delivering to a home
