Maybe not convincing, but compelling for some of us.
Just a minor point in HTML's favor, which may be utterly inconsequential
to you but is the deciding factor for me: HTML converts to other formats
much, much better than PDF. For example, I have one of those Sony
eReaders. I can (and have) slurped the hg book and converted it to LRF
format (the native eReader format).
Anyway, I don't really want to get into the HTML vs. PDF holy war that
seems to have occurred; I just wanted to voice a +1 for HTML format, for
people who want the freedom to convert the document into some other format.
