We all appreciate your Herculean task in revamping our paper. We want the AJC alive and well, but we also need to be able to read it. It is not easy in its current form, and I often can’t find what I want or where I’m going. Especially in need of fixing is the “continued on A10″ at the bottom of such articles. It is almost impossible to read. Please make the type bolder. You have skipped a line between the article so it is already set off. But I thank you for your efforts. I’m sure we will get used to the new format with practice.

I could care less about comics in color, but I do care that some features such as the vent and the obituaries are so small and dim that one can hardly read them. It seems you have “cut enough corners” without reducing the amount of ink. Also, the Sunday Homefinder is just a joke anymore. In today’s issue there wasn’t even an article written about the property. And what happened to the Home Search and Vacation Homes features? We have been loyal customers for many, many years but are seriously considering not renewing when this subscription expires.

I am from the norhteast, consider the NYT the standard in most respects (though I don’t always like its politics), can deal with some color and pizzaz, but have considered ending my subscribption based on the new lay out. It makes me dizzy, and it’s hard for me to see where the news is. The single biggest issue is the highly distracting grey verticle bar down the middle of each first page. It completely disrupts any logic to the page. I noticed the Sunday version is without this grey bar, and I am fine with its look. Please get rid of that grey bar in the daily as well. Honestly, it gives me a headache when combined with all the new color blocs. Uch.

i don’t feel that wednesday nite sports should be reported on the friday edition. the area of delivery has shrunk to a size now that at least you can go to press later, and still get the paper delivered in time the next am and report at least the local sporting events.

Correction on my last post: you’ve responded by reducing your paragraph indents to one “letter.”

After all of the legitimate complaints about how dense the type is, you’ve responded by reducing your paragraph indents to one word. Whoever is in charge of making these decisions about the font is either blind or has super vision. In any case, the rest of us are left with a great paper that is now impossible to read.

I’ve been thinking about your redesign since Tuesday and I’ve finally found the right word: rinky-dink.

Friday’s AJC had sections B & C inserted AFTER D & E. So much for Tuesday’s claim that the “order of sections will be consistent.”
