1. Totally agree. We know how we can / will do this and plan to do so given enough interest in the MVP reading experience.

2. The url structure is indeed for SEO purposes. (We get a large majority of users discovering our paper pages through organic search)

The proposed shorter format could maybe be a redirect then? Quickly being able to turn one link into the other would be quite useful.
