Do you prefer printed annual reports or reading them online?

Do you guys read printed/physical 10ks and other filings, or do you read them online? Why or why not? Are there other more effective ways you've found to read them (e.g. in note-taking apps, etc)?

I tend to read them online because printing can be a pain in the ass, but my PM and a couple other analysts I know seem to prefer printing them. I know a lot of the old school guys seem to all still read printed reports. I find reading physical reports helps me focus without distractions on my PC but also am more efficient at taking notes electronically, so it's a tough trade-off.
