> Our library has subscribed to the print version of Consumer Reports

> comparison chart for gas furnaces. I found it on
> consumerreports.org, but even though we are print subscribers they
> wanted an additional $20 to enable web searches.

> do you use it, or are most patrons still asking for the printed
> copies?
