Let us contrast the viewability and readability with this recent linux
magazine.

http://pclosmag.com/index.php/latest...nusos-magazine

At the bottom of that page is a download button. The .pdf doesn't offer
to open in your browser -- the page is configured to download it to your
disk where you can open it with the .pdf agent of your choice.

When you view that magazine in Presentation mode or Full screen or
whatever is your preference, the graphics are sharp, the columns are the
right width, the text contrast on the background is excellent.

There is nothing wrong with my 17" screen's ability to provide more real
estate and pixels than I need to read properly designed .pdf/s.
