Agreed.  Also texts with explanatory photos and/or illustrations which you want to see full-sized.  But relatively little of my reading is in that category. On 6/16/20 6:35 PM, Marcus Daniels wrote: For textbooks or other explanatory text, having the extra real estate is handy for next to th

ebooks are great, especially the epub format, which is far superior to pdf.  I carry 2-300 books on my iPhone.  Easy to read in bed, too.  Too bad the Springer site does not make everything available in epub format. On 6/16/20 5:34 PM, Gary Schiltz wrote: I rather hate to admit it, but a good

Frank, Yeah, reading a pdf is also an obstacle for me. I will *read* a book but my experience thus far has been to only use pdfs for reference. -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. . .-. . FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Zoom

Nick, It does look like a good read, though your reminder is a good one. I wish there were a decent app for predicting the value xyz information will be to me, how well it will synergize with other experiences. OTOH, I know I would get bored if my path were known to me. Ah, but I am very happy to

Jon, I found https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2F978-3-319-29716-3.pdf on the Springer List. A collection of chapters on the "evolution of disease" written for clinicians. Looks like it might be worth the time, if one had the time for it to be worth. Nick Nicholas Thompson

Ha! same. I wanted a physical copy of the AIP journal a paper of mine was in, but I am not a member of any of the physical societies so it would cost me $722. -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. . .-. . FRIAM Applied Complexity Group
