HTML verses PDF

• HTML will be mostly text and is quick to
  download.
• PDF documents will need to have Adobe Acrobat
  Reader (free to download) installed on your
  computer and is a little slower to download.
  However the articles typically look like the
  article as it appears in the original document
  including photos and charts.
• When you have both options many times it will be
  your personal preference.

  netLibrary and Safari Tech Books online.
