But what really gets my goat is that on changethis, I can't download the PDF without opening it in a browser window. Sure, I get around it by looking at the source code of the page, figuring out the link and downloading it directly, but for dozen or so people I've spoken with, most would prefer a have a choice, to open the PDF in the browswer window, or to download for reading later (they ALL (bar one) also said they'd prefer a HTML version). I enjoy reading what Seth & Co are upto, but it'd be nice if they made it easier for me. I’m not so keen on PDF’s, I’d prefer to see HTML & PDF.

Putting something on the web gives a publisher more options pdf, html, flash etc. all are useful and have their place. the problem with the PDFs on changethis is that they generally suck. they're very pretty, but i don't need a pdf taking over my entire screen thank you. and if i see one i like and want to quote, it's harder to link to. htlm is just there, all ready to read. if you're trying to change minds, why not do it in the easiest format that will reach the most people, i.e. html. stop trying to impose design standards on your content and let the content soar.
