In Search of Beautiful (Digital) Documents
summary
Argues for “reading experience design” and shows concrete examples: an iPad Elements app embeds manipulable objects beside text (no popups), a geometry redo uses colored inline shapes instead of letter labels, tapping a character name surfaces and dismisses a reminder without breaking flow, a red‑dot image reveals subtle reframed context, a cookbook uses a visual table of contents, and a business book serves only chapters matched to a quick Q&A. Puddling text on tilt is called gimmicky.
