I think this is a sad evolution which will ultimately result in fewer people reading the journals & transactions (which are often quite interesting). I specifically joined the ACM for the print versions of Communications and Transactions, and have a bookshelf dedicated to both. I haven't seen any other compelling reasons for an ACM membership, so this will mean farewell from me.
Reading, especially technical material, on screen is still an inferior experience to paper. Even with my Remarkable. Flipping pages is slow, browsing is slow, it's impossible to have multiple documents open side by side.
Maybe I'm just an old grouch. But I'm not happy about this.
