Only if you

*   use IE/Win that cannot zoom browser text,
*   must use a CRT,
*   haven't heard of PDF,
*   haven't discovered the inline Search button,
*   haven't heard of speech reading,
*   haven't used text diff,
*   are not going to use portions of what you're reading in some other
digital context,
*   have no need to link to other sources,
*   have no need to reformat for specific/special needs,
*   enjoy manually looking up words,
*   like reading non-fiction material that becomes outdated by the time you
get to read it on paper,
*   have good eye vision so you can read small text or enjoy using a
magnifier, or
*   believe in urban legends.

Other than that, it's great to clear forests. :-)
