I always read on-screen. But my eyes do glaze over if I'm faced with a long, unbroken passage of text - especially when it's on the Archive, given everything's in plain text. I find Courier very hard on my eyes.

So if a story uses tabbing for paragraph breaks, rather than an extra hard return to create blocks of space between paras, and if it's anything more than around 50K, I end up skimming and may give up on it unless it really grips my interest.

Take this as a plea, fellow authors, to use double hard returns rather than tabs for paragraphing! wink
