Well, this pretty much means PDF, which I'm not a huge fan of (even if Acrobat Reader's latest version is fairly stable). And a new level of complexity dealing with customer support.

Would people really pay for a harder-to-read version of what would be appearing a few weeks later? (My guess is the answer may depend on whether you're in an area well-served by the distribution system -- folks in the USA can get things pretty quickly, I would guess that Switzerland is a bit slower.)
