    It was designed for farms and businesses that have a big problem with mice. I'd rather catch them in a bucket and drive them out and put them in the woods then break limbs in a more traditional trap. For many of these farms and businesses, leaving the mice running free is not an option. This seems like a very humane trap.

    I don't think its a matter of it being too hard to offer them as HTML. Some documents look like crap in html format. Particularly documents with complex mathematical expressions. Besides, what is wrong with PDF? There are plenty of non-Adobe PDF viewers out there if you don't want to patronize Adobe.
