In PDF form. As far as trivial inconveniences go, the jump from html to pdf is nearly as debilitating as a paywall.
If you could publish in web-served html as well, that would be super cool. Much more pleasant to read (accessability, font, reflow), much easier to link, less hoops and bandwidth. If your papers have served html versions, they are not obvious.
It is incredibly embarrasing to admit being regularly defeated by something being .pdf instead of .html.
For the record, I much prefer PDF.
Edit: and it shouldn't be inconvenient, at least on my computer PDF auto-download and open when you visit a link to a PDF file.
