I'm a kindle fan-a-tic! I download the pdf script to my computer, then email it to my kindle (for free!--just send it to yourkindlename@free.kindle.com). It's great, I turn my kindle's aspect to "landscape" so I won't go prematurely blind from teeny-tiny font. It's with me wherever I go, so I read scripts throughout the day--when I'm not writing. ;)

I use an iPAD. I transfer the .pdf file via Files Lite. The iPad can open the .pdf file. Then I can resize the screen to a nice large resolution and read from there. I cannot however annotate the pdf. I'm sure there's an app to do this because I've seen a filmmaker do it on his iPAD. John August made a FDX reader. And CELTX is on the iPAD. I do however get eyestrain after a long read. Not sure if it's because of the glossy screen.

I prefer printing them out. But I learned how to read them as PDFs because some of the management cos I worked for didn't like interns and assistants printing out scripts willy-nilly. I'd read PDF scripts in their libraries during downtimes.

3 ways: i) If I'm just reviewing a few pages, usually in pdf via celtx (which is my main writing app) on screen on my 27" screen iMac, so I can flip back and forth. ii) general editing work, I print out 2 pages per side (so you read in landscape), staple in the upper LH corner or 3 hole punch. The pages aren't horrendously small, and there's usually enough space to make notes. iii) for major work (like rewriting a scene), just print 1 page/side.

Both! I either read them on my Mac, or print them out (the longer ones) at my internships!

With the AWESOME iPad app iAnnotate PDF, I don't print hard copies anymore. I grab my favorite stylus and go through my script on the iPad. Then I send the annotated .pdf to myself and make the changes at my computer. The app is FANTASTIC. Colored pens, highlighters, strikethrough of text, attaching notes you can type up. Going through one of my scripts tonight as a matter of fact. As far as other scripts go...I read them with the iBooks app on my iPad. On the couch. Or in bed. On a plane. Wherever.

I have only ever read scripts on the computer, though I am fairly new to screenwriting. If I had a Tablet I would use that for sure. Much more convenient than a Desktop or clunky Laptop.

Which PDF reader do XP users use? I read Gladiator using Adobe Reader, but was intrigued by Scott's comments regarding annotations. The Gladiator script is secured so I can can't add annotations to it using AR. Was wondering if over XP users preferred a different PDF reader.

I specifically bought a Kindle to allow my to read fast, save ink and paper and to be able to carry lots around with me. A very cunning purchase.

I still like paper but have learnt to read on the computer. Just can't bring myself to use all that paper any more! Plus ink is so expensive now! I have a Kindle but not used like Traci suggested but will definitely give that a try now! The iAnnotate PDF app sounds good too! It's a bit geeky but I also have dual monitors so it's a lot easier to make notes on one screen and have the sript or document on the other.

For my own scripts: I print out. And I scribble all over with a red pen (and a blue one too when appropriate). For other people's scripts: I read on-screen PDF. And I take notes using OneNote, Word or plain old paper.

I read pdf scripts through my laptop. I am a very slow reader. Only once I read a script with a lot of notes, (Matrix, as I loved the movie very much). I'll try to do that excercise with Bridesmaids. I usually note down on a paper all the observations I picked up. Though I didn't understand the technique of pointing out the act breaks while reading. (I'll analyse the act breaks after finishing the script) Mainly while reading the script I'll note down the 'Characterisations' and I'll try to get the sub-text from a dialogue.

@Sean, others-- Any thoughts on Foxit? (if only they made iAnnotate for pc's!)

I prefer printing them out, but generally read them electronically because my paper budget has limits. One of the weird things I've found with my novel, though is that the text *feels* different if I'm reading a printout vs. reading it onscreen.

@kjb: There is something to the tactile experience of reading an actual hard copy of a script. That's why I always print out my own pages. With a novel, I couldn't imagine reading it electronically.
