Thanks, Mike.

You touch on these things in _Cultural Psychology_, but I'm glad to have 
this piece in which you address this more extensively as the central focus 
of the article.

If I might make a suggestion about PDF files: If you scan the paper 
document in just black-and-white, instead of color or grayscale, and save 
it in a file format that's only two bits deep (instead of 8 or 24), you 
can use that to create a pdf with a much smaller file size. The b/w pdf 
will also work much better for Optical Character Recognition -- whether 
you do the OCR in the pdf that you create, or leave that for users to do 
for themselves. The OCR will be less successful for a pdf that was created 
from jpeg page images.

The process I'm suggesting is basically the same as what you've got, but 
just with a different setting for the initial step.
