I wasn’t thinking about show through but in flipping pages my mind has some recollection of the page that was there before and having a page flash on screen that doesn’t line up with the last page might be a bit jarring. Regarding more advanced page layouts like in magazines. Many some people on this thread might not care about them much but for me, I am in this group to bring that perspective. There is very little support available for these types of layouts in any digital medium but for my use cases multi-column layout with baseline grid alignment is important. _________________ Scott Kellum scott@scottkellum.com (347) 422-7572 scottkellum.com On Friday, January 10, 2014 at 11:47 AM, Bert Bos wrote: > On Thursday 09 January 2014 02:15:23 Liam R E Quin wrote: > > > "Show-through" isn't an issue for on-screen viewing, > > Maybe, maybe not...
