I don't buy that the problem with the web is that HTML is not inherently offlineable. HTML may not be inherently offlineable but it can be. PDF isn't inherently a web friendly format, but it can be. There really isn't any good argument for PDFing the web.

Print the page to PDF.

  > Print the page to PDF. Even that usually sucks nowadays, because web developers don't care anymore. Probably 75% of the time before I do that, I have to go into the dev console to delete overlay elements that obscure content and garbage that will waste 10 pages (e.g. grossly oversized images, related article recommendations, etc.). There was a time when most websites had a print view that gave you a simplified html page that worked well, but I think most of those are gone now. Now it's all some print "media-type" CSS that no one ever put the time in to do properly or keep up to date.
