The paper I work for publishes highly compressed PDFs of each edition to 
the website (processed using Acrobat Pro). While I'm personally not 
thrilled with the results, I get consistent feedback from users that 
they find it fast and easy to use. The image quality is, admittedly, 
horrible, and it's only going to be fast for someone on ADSL/cable .

It's also a fairly cheap and easy way to publish. So all is not lost. 
Acrobat Pro isn't cheap either, but at least it's a one-off cost.
