There's a "Download PDF" button. Holy cow, my respect for Harper's, and perception of them as a serious publication, just skyrocketed.
Are any other online publishers doing that? It's not even that I'm going to print it out or anything, but clearly it shows that their priority is readership, not ad conversions.

- unphasable 12y agoclicking the "Reader" button on safari, located to the right of the URL bar gives a similar view.
- pit 12y agoOh, I didn't mean that I thought they were lousy before, but now my perception is overwhelmingly positive.
- thinkling 12y agoThe regular web version cuts off after hundreds of words with a "click here to subscribe to continue reading" wrapper, but the PDF has the complete article. Bizarre.
- lilsunnybee 12y agoIf you click on that popup though, it displays the rest of the article without forcing a subscription. Much better than the New York Times in my opinion.
