+This book is best read front to back, word upon word. Each paragraph builds upon the last. The thesis is presented immediately in brief, then in increasing detail.
+
+The book is an integrated whole. Every word aids comprehension, including front and back elements (preface, faq, etc).

+
+##### media
+
+Paper or e-paper is best for reading. Print a paper copy, or buy one: ([write](/back/services#write)). 8" or 10" e-paper devices from established companies are good. Dasung or Onyx monitors are best for writing and working.
+
+Avoid backlit screens for reading: computers, tablets, phones. They irritate the eyes, disrupt concentration, and lower comprehension.
