I totally agree with Jeff. Reading on the computer isn’t good. I usually copy the text in to word to avoid excess of colours and advertisements which avoid me to read exactly what I want to.
I’ll check the tool. Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh my gosh!

Have you ever tried, jeff, just copy ONLY the text you want to read an paste it into the wordpad and then print it??

remember: ctrl+c & ctrl+v makes your life easier, man!!!!

Marco, just an information to you that sure you know already, but Amazon has a kindle to dowload ebooks to the p.c., a lot of ebooks and they are cheaper (very cheap indeed) that the paper one.
The kindle to p.c. is free and you may have it soon and easily, only going to the Amazon website and giving your identification to dowload the books the kindle and may pay them.
It´s really nice to read the books that way, nicer than by pdf of course and you may have the books you may desire by that way, if they have them.
All the clasic for sure and very very cheap.
Soon would be a kindle to Mac. and iphone too, so the ebooks are just here already.

I have one in the p.c., and have the Charles Dickens complete novels by only 3 euros aprox. only., also some of Science Fiction that I love always.
But now I want the Mac. kindle as soon as possible, and sure that I´ll try to read on the pc. or Mac very frecuently. It´s really necessary to the environment.
If you see it and like, tell me please.
Regards.

Just writing down some thoughts …. :

I’am probably one of (the) few/est who ‘likes’ reading everything on the Internet respective on his Home Computer Desktop. In general there is a generation-gap (as always), in this case between most of the young people (so called “digital natives”) and the older generation. Most of the teenager don’t have a problem to read, in the meaning of “find” and “identify” information on the internet.

For young people, and the comming generations it is already very important to learn how to use and value the information, see: Media literacy.

I’m also the kind of guy who likes Wikipedia very much and ebook-versions of hole literature (PDF).

But I digress. Ask yourself if it’s the web-information you don’t like or just the way of presentation.

Maybe you should try a bigger desktop at home – most of them can be fixed to a wall and spinned 90° from horizontal to veritcal. Or maybe try some of these new ebook-readers.

PS: It took me, as a prospective computer scientist, about 5 minutes to get “Readability” to work. ; )

Hi,

I used to listen ESL podcast couple of years ago. I again started listening and noticed the blog notes. I liked so much the idea. All the topics are full of useful information and in the end they open a discussion. It’s been a fun to read all the topics and the comments last few days.

Thanks a lot for all the ESL staff and the members.
