Changing the way you view pages

For some reason I don't really like the way you view printed pages. I think it would look better of they were viewed like a map, where you look down and you read the paper, instead of right clicking.

Just a thought, post your thoughts

You're not a dev. And there are no disadvantages to this

When I first printed I was like
"Wow! I have got a printed piece of paper! Now what?" I know I may have had one of those days where your brain isn't working, but this is a simple thing that can be fixed and should be.

What would the purpose be of forcing the user to look down to read the paper? I can't think of any case where that would be an advantage over the current way of reading.

Actually, it would be kinda cool if you could print to maps. They already work using images (minecraft creates bitmap and then displays it on the map - there are also mods to import customimages), so it should not take a lot of work for CC. Just set map coordinates to some remote place (so it gets never updated with actual map) and then modify its image.
