I expect the answers for this question will vary quite a bit from agent to agent, but I'm curious what method is typically used nowadays to read a full or partial manuscript? Do you load it onto a Kindle or tablet, print it out, or read it straight from the computer screen?
If anyone can share their own practices/preferences, that'd be amazing.
On a related note (which led me to ask this question): My own manuscript deals with a lot of code, where the spacing between characters and line of texts are essential for it making any sense at all. However, a Kindle will smash down these carefully-placed lines to fit their screen, making them completely incomprehensible. I'm worried this will be a problem when querying begins. Maybe I should warn them up front, if any request a full or partial ms?
Thanks in advance for any input!
