Be thankful for great vision.

I often have to process scans of PD scores. The paper they replace weighs hundreds of pounds.

Oh I see - poor quality scans (or scans of manuscripts for that matter) are a lot harder to deal with than digital scores which are native PDFs already.

Though I'm still impressed by people who can sight read off a tiny smartphone screen.

PDF is amazing for replacing many pounds of paper.
