Script Summary: Reformats journal papers for easy reading.

Reading journal papers online can be tough. An array of links and navigation bars take up space, and the single column of text either passes up most of the space on your widescreen monitor, or has lines too long to comfortably read.

Pied Paper is an experiment in simplifying all this, and letting you focus on reading the paper. It cuts away the cruft, and reformats the page into columns. This means that scrolling goes side to side, rather than up and down, which takes a moment to get used to.

To reduce distraction even more, hit F11 to make the page fullscreen.
