2 things.

- The html5 transformation is not instant. Everyone gets the Flash reader till the HTML5 version gets ready. Which can be anywhere between minutes to hours (I don't know the avg time).

- The HTML5 version or the Flash is worse than a plain old PDF viewer. Have you used the Integrated PDF viewer in Chrome lately? PDF under chrome makes reading PDF fun again, its the fastest/smoothest PDF viewer I have ever used

Also in order for me to download the PDF version I have to either register or sign in with my facebook account? What nonsense is that?

I have in the past for other sites. But now, sites that do decide to BugMe I choose Not to visit them.*

*NYT being the exception.
