Attempt to download the story via Firefox asks me to upgrade my Flash player! If I refuse, as I did, the file – assuming there is one – is inaccessible.
Have you actually downloaded it successfully? Aware of an ordinary URL that doesn’t go via fancy Flash?
@Tinkoo: The page loads an Amazon-like browse feature to let you read online.
I understand your frustration, though. More of this year’s stories than I’d prefer are available only in PDF format. I prefer text I can copy into eBook format and take with me, or better yet, delivered directly in various eBook formats.
Even with the newest Flash plug-in available this is totally inaccessible on Linux (just shows up with a blank screen). Very disappointed.
It works for me flash plugin 1.4 in Debian GNU/Linux… still, no download link. I couldn’t possibly read something presented like that.
