Kit: There are a couple of reasons I edit on paper, besides just finding it easier to read. First: it lets me put pages side by side out of order and draw arrows between them and stuff. A stack of printout pages is less linear than a column of digital text. Second: it lets me take a break between editing and rewriting, same as the break between writing and editing. When I'm writing, I can't trust myself as an editor, and when I'm editing, I can't trust myself as a writer. If I edited directly into a working document, then I wouldn't be able to cleanly separate those tasks.
