I confess PDF grows on me over time, and especially since I figured out how
to tell Acrobat Reader to view stuff in "continuous mode" (== the page
boundaries are still there, but scrolling pays no attention to them).  The
one great advatage of PDF over HTML is whole-document searching, although
(like it or not <wink>) Microsoft .chm format adds a form of that to
HTML-based docs too.
