So that's a lot of mobile visits. I always turn the phone to landscape mode when watching video, but I've noticed that other people around my house (the older ones, cough, cough) are really resistant to just rotating the phone, and then complain that the video is too small (and has the wrong aspect ratio). That may just be one of those behavioural things that's really hard to do anything about.

I did ask one of the requestors and they said they turn the phone landscape - when I do that, I can read the text just fine - if I take my glasses off.   Anywho, we'll see how they react to the larger image near the end of the video.

One thing someone over on Reddit pointed out was that viewing the entire page at once really gives the reader a sense of how fine the nib is.  He thought that if the whole video were zoomed in and sort of "columnar", you'd lose that sense.  I tend to agree with this, and it's partly why I didn't include zoom pictures at first - I didn't want to "deceive" the viewer's eyes - the zoom gives you an idea of what you'll see if the paper is held up to your nose, but it's not terribly realistic...

Oh, then you could review scented inks if Smell-o-Vision had ever been perfected.

Without the Smell-o-Vision, someone else will have to review them - I cracked my head open a long, long time ago and the only (known) lasting effect has been that my sense of smell really doesn't work right.  Therefore, anything I had to say about the scent of an ink would be entirely irrelevant.
