Comments on The Times’ New Format

I just wanted to let you know that, although it may take awhile to get adjusted to your new format, I generally like it.

However, I have one request (which applied to the old format as well as the new):

Would it be a big problem to put page numbers at the bottom of pages as well as at the top? Like many of your readers, I spread The Times out on my dining room table (if I’m home) or on a coffee-shop or cafeteria table (when I eat breakfast away from home). It’s a real pain to stretch to see the page numbers, which seem miles away on the other side of my cereal bowl or French toast!
