i have a problem in PRing an ebook on my comp. Each page of the book is divided into two columns, such that you read down the first and then back up for the second(similar to a dictionary). Also the page is very long so if you view it fitting the screen dimensionally you can't make out any words(at least not clearly).
So the only option is to fit width and use the page down key. The problem is that i dont think that the pages can be PRead unless the whole page is viewed, so that the brain can figure out the pattern of going down then up.That's why PRing real books i think works 'cause the brain figures out down the first page then back up for the second. If one read the top half and bottom half of a two page spread seperately would'nt the mind get confused?
I would love to experiment but i'm recently having really good success in PRing
and i would'nt want to do something that has less scope in succeeding and send my morale tumbling down again if i don't recollect anything.Paul in the whole mind system book brought up the point to use page down rather than scroll since scroll could confuse the mind.If scroll confuses the mind one can only imagine what reading haphazardly a dictionary style book can do.
So if someone has any ideas or experience as to what to do in reading these types of books or atleast the issue of font size in PRing books, please help me out by giving some clue as how best to proceed.

ps:the full screen option gives also unreadable font size in adobe.

Whatever is viewable is a page. Like in books it's continued next page. Don't worry about the fact that you seem to be PhotoReading two sections of the article at the same time. Have an incubation time to let the mind sort it out. If you consciously know that the text is missing and will be viewed in the next jump then the nonconscious knows too. No reason you will have problems with activation. It might be a mini second or 2 slower but nothing serious.

Scrolling only moves up one line at a time and causes flicker. Ir's slower because the mind is repeatedly seeing an earlier part of the page.

Page down producces crisp jumps like flipping the pages.

In Adobe find the comfortable screen size, there are some defualt figures in the lower left but you can overwrite them with your own percentage. 75% might be awkward but 83% workable yet that figure is not one of the defaults, just overwite it in the toolbar.

As for seemingly small font size. I will often PhotoRead it smaller than I use for activation.
