Look at it like this Tony, I have just put up a post linking to some pictures of Broadstairs, now this sort of thing may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people like these posts with lots of pictures, I can tell this from the web statistics. Suppose you clicked on a link to look at the pictures and they weren't there, so you bothered to contact me an tell me, then I told you I had put them up and you had a look and they were so blurry as to be not worth looking at, would you bother to do so again? The main problem here is that it isn't difficult to use a combination of text and images for an online magazine and to make pages that load quickly, it is just that pdf is the wrong format for this see
