Does slideshare offer a printable version that just extracts all the text into paragraph form?

While I was interested in the topic, about 30 slides in I got tired of clicking through the "presentation" and gave up. I'm getting tired of slides with huge text and no design. Makes me almost miss bullet point monotony!

Why do people use SlideShare? It's such an incredibly ugly site. Just browsing slides on it makes me shudder.

Nobody uses Google Presentations? Nobody? Or 280Slides? Sites that don't feel like absolute crud?

I couldn't agree more. That's a terrible interface.

If he had just put his thoughts on a web page I would have read them. By putting the onus on me to waste my time clicking over a hundred times and only feeding me a sentence or two per click, he just drove me off. Unless people who like clicking a lot while reading slowly are his target audience, this is a bad thing.

My guess is the presentation was originally given to a live audience, and then the slides posted online. However, an online-formatted version would've been much more helpful.

On a related point, I'd like some warning that the linked page relies on Flash. Relying on Flash is a very good predictor that the page is not worth dealing with.
