New format

I hate the new format. The size of the articles are way too small for older eyes. It was much easier before you got new software. When the paper was brought up on screen you could hit the arrow on the top right corner and all pages were enlarged. Change is not always the best.

Format

Not particularly fond of the new format. Sometimes newer is not better, this is one of those.

Great Upgrade

The new version makes it much easier to read everything I have access to with my subscription. I love that I can now zoom in without the text getting blurry.
