As a scientific researcher who reads many 8 1/2 x 11 documents every day, to replace printing every paper one really needs a very large screen. Scrolling is too distracting so the full page needs to be completely seen in its original size or maybe a little bit zoomed in. Then it is really nice to be able to have another window next to it at full size to display the figures. Many times the figure the text is discussing is on the next page. With paper you just have the two pages next to each other, but this does not work on anything less that a huge screen.
I really had a hard time finding screens tall enough to do this, as computer screens are made super wide to view movies. Turning a 27" monitor upright does the trick, but I would rather have a screen in the shape of a square that was about 22" on a side.
This doc would also benefit with much higher resolution scanning, as the map on the first page is looks wonderful at first glance, but its details are not legible.
