This isn't a standard stereogram, but rather relies on a simple repeated but slightly altered images. The way this one is designed I find it obscenely easy to focus in and see the 3d image.

Better, try this link: http://www.eyetricks.com/3dstereo105.htm

They seem to dislike direct linking to their images.

Okay, that one worked, with minor eye-crossing. I think. They didn't look 3-D, but they did look like they were "hovering" above the green.

Moar stereograms!

I love those things!

I'm practically blind without my glasses, but a good perscription and nothing but badly near-sighted makes it tolerable for me.

I use both a Kindle Fire and a Dell Duo as eReaders, not counting my PCs and laptops. As soon as I can get a PDF reader on my PSVita, I'll try that. The built-in PDF reader on the Kindle is practically worthless to me because it keeps resizing my page everytime I turn the page. I've told it to stop doing that, but it doesn't listen. But, I got the Adobe reader for it, and it works marvelously.

The Duo seems to be a bit easier to read on, but it may just be that I have more practice reading on it. The Kindle is better for Netflix. I, pretty much, just export my characters to PDF and use either the Kindle or the Duo for character tracking now (the Duo is better because it's a netbook as well, and it's easier to keep multiple programs running).

The Duo's resolution is 1366x768, the Kindle's is 1024x600, the PSVita is 960x544.

The Duo sounds like it has a lot of pixels, but its aspect ratio is almost 1.8. The Kindle is a little over 1.7, and the PSVita is around 1.76.

Those are all very far from the ideal of 1.3.

However, 1.3 is irrelevant to me, as I can read the Duo superbly. And, I usually rotate it so I'm reading at 768x1366.

You read PDFs at 768 pixels height?

No, at 1366.

I read in portrait mode, not landscape. I read where the netbook is on it's side. I have read in landscape mode, but don't often, unless I'm using my PC or my laptop.

I feel like the weirdo because I keep my browser at a full glorious 1680px wide and have no issue reading...

Getting to grips with this 'ere iPad, I'd like to be able to use the contents-page hotlinks that recent GURPS PDFs have. These don't seem to work in Adobe Reader, iBooks or Foxit; any suggestion?
