If the format is easy to read, would it make sense for development professionals to read all scripts in eScript format?

Why would ordinary people read eScripts?

How is an eScript different in format from a regular script?

I heard readers complaining many of the scripts self-published on Amazon were converted PDFs. They look horrible on Kindles, Nooks, tablets, and PCs. That format and the fonts that we normally write screenplays with just don't pop off of the screen like an e-book.

The format changes that I eventually made to eScripts came to me by chance. I eventually discovered that moving almost everything to the left margin made the reading so much better.
Beyond that, with eScripts, we're allowed to use chapter headings, images, and can allow ourselves to use an extra few lines or so here and there in our scene descriptions because this format doesn't make us abide by Hollywood standards.

To me, reading screenplays is a whole new medium of storytelling for readers. A visual medium. It's the perfect hybrid of literature and watching movies; two of the world's most favorite pastimes. Besides, the exciting factor for readers is that it lets them experience a whole story, told in visual flare, in just two hours' worth of reading. eScripts are perfect for lunch breaks, late night reads before bed, while waiting for the flights in the airport, etc.

That would be a big leap for them. Creatures of habit. Personally, I think it would make a real difference, especially with the advent of iPhones, iPads, tablets, Kindles, Kindle Readers, Nooks, etc. But easier said than done.
