Warren,

That's what 2/3s of my susbcribers tell me too. It is slowly shifting, 
and I suspect it would shift faster towards "online" if I also 
provided the journal in more table-friendly formats. That's on the 
to-do list for sure.

But still, the majority of my readers prefer paper, and that's 
especially true in the developing world where reliable (and free) 
access to the Internet and to printers is less common. Other reasons 
include the ability to write notes in the margins, pass copies around, 
read "anywhere" and so on.
