The E-Sylum:  Volume 4, Number 39, September 23, 2001, Article 9

ON THE USABILITY OF CD-ROM BOOKS    

  In response to the earlier suggestion that the Krause volumes   
  would be "strong candidates for the CD-ROM format," Joe   
  Boling writes:  "... please, only if the images can be loaded a   
  page at a time, and instantly.   The auction catalogs on CD   
  that I have used are very cumbersome and frustrating,   
  because it takes so long to page through the information.   
  One can scan a paper page in a fraction of a second for   
  whatever one is seeking (illustration, heading, key word);   
  it takes forever to scan the equivalent amount of information   
  on a CD-ROM."    

  [The September 21-22, 2001 catalog of the Heritage /   
  Currency Auctions of America sale includes a CD-ROM   
  of the full catalog in the form of web pages.  The text can   
  be browsed quickly, with images appearing only on   
  demand.  -Editor]
