The World Bank issued a report on global warming yesterday 
<http://climatechange.worldbank.org/content/climate-change-report-warns-dramatically-warmer-world-century>, 
offering both pdf and eBook versions. Hoping for something more readable 
than pdf, I clicked the eBook link 
<http://issuu.com/world.bank.publications/docs/turn_down_the_heat> and 
got some Flash obscenity.

I guess pdf is familiar, so I can forgive its use, but Flash? For 
accessibility, particularly since Adobe seems to be abandoning Android, 
it seems a strange choice.

I must be getting old.
