I actually like multiple pages. I find reading some of the longer (8ish page) NY Times or The Atlantic articles difficult when it's just one enormous piece of text. I like that it's broken down into small chunks, and it offers a convenient place to stop if I don't have time for the full article.

I also don't like it when people here link to Print View instead of the main article page. Partly for that reason, and partly because the text columns tend to be way too wide on print view pages. There's also frequently no way to get back to the non-print-view page.
