Re: Text versions of books on disc 1) The text on a video screen is much more legible than the small type of most paperback books. 2) I can read a book on my backlit laptop in poor lighting without disturbing anyone. I.e. automobile, bed, the patio in the evening.…

The pins on a dot matrix printer are large compared to the dots printed by a laser printer. Also, the physical movement of the paper isn't nearly as precise as the beam of a laser. With this reasoning, I can't see how a typical dot-matrix printer could achieve laser printer…

The Encyclopedia's manual and help screens say that I can get sound (through the headphone jack) by clicking on a sound symbol within some essays, but no "sound symbols" appear anywhere .
