(Chiming in a little late on this one; I was out yesterday.)

Darren, have you considered providing an alternate version that contains the
whole article in one web page? I know it would require a lot of scrolling to
read, but some people would rather scroll than click "next page" links. I don't
have any studies to back this up, just my own experience: if something spans two
or more web pages, I start looking for the "Print version" (i.e., single-page
version) link. If there is no print version, I bail unless I really, really want
to read that article. Then I grumble every time I click the "next page" link.
