It would depend on whether I'm doing research on a particular topic for a reason or just browsing.
5/30/2008 10:02:49 PM
If I'm interested, I'd download what I want to read and ignore the rest.
5/30/2008 2:20:39 PM
If I were reading off the computer, I would read them online, but I most prefer to read magazines
5/30/2008 1:34:10 PM
Remember that those of us in rural locations have dial-up internet, it takes a while.

5/30/2008 9:02:14 AM
Offer either option
5/30/2008 12:21:05 AM
If it can/will be used as reference, pdf is best to keep it. If it is only a one time read, online.
5/29/2008 11:03:12 PM
I like to peruse an article online and if I want to pass it along to someone, I prefer a pdf

Some articles are news, some are information. I'd like to keep the informative - like nutrition, etc
5/28/2008 8:45:32 PM
If it is an ongoing story, I'd prefer to see it as it happens. Otherwise, a series is best.

Links inside of each article to the other articles
5/27/2008 4:05:13 PM
I prefer to read in depth and technical article in print; would want good abstracts before downloads
5/27/2008 4:02:47 PM
It depends on how much time I have available, or if I consider the article worth saving in my files.
5/27/2008 3:58:59 PM
If I'm interested, the PDF would be preferable. If my interest is mild, online is fine.
5/27/2008 3:57:21 PM

choice
5/27/2008 3:39:42 PM
time makes the PDF file a good option - but too much paper if that is only option.
5/27/2008 3:38:11 PM
Read them online with links to related articles. Printer friendly option.
5/27/2008 3:32:50 PM
It's ok to group them, but provide an index and categorize them, make them searchable
5/27/2008 3:29:12 PM
If I am really concerned and need to share with someone, I want to print it. Otherwise, on the net.
5/27/2008 3:20:42 PM
If a topic has long term interest or complex articles, I would pdf, but topical events, read online
5/27/2008 3:15:25 PM
depends on the subject and if the articles are no older then two years old.
