Although we haven't conducted a specific study on the UI of the digital format, we have heard anecdotal feedback re: these digital additions. Some of the user benefits include being able to see your ad (if you placed one) in the print addition if print is unavailable, finding articles or photos not included on the website, and being able to quickly navigate to pages or sections readers may be familiar with. Ironically, the digital additions probably do better for those papers whose web additions have UI problems or limit their online content: users may bypass the web to go to something more familiar and scannable.
I agree with you that the current UX tools available are not optimal - maybe there's a business opportunity here for someone who wants to improve on these tools. -David . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
