But the simplistic style of LWN is exactly what i like about it: It's simple, the information is there where you expect it to be, it's fast, no java, javascript or any other flashing and blinking, pop-up generating elements... just pure information. Yes, the colour theme might be a bit outdated. But i dont care. I like the look of LWN. And heck, it's even simple to parse it with a couple of lines of perl to generate a latex document (and then farther to pdf) for easier reading.

I wholeheartedly agree with what you're saying, however if the goal is to improve subscription rates, and subsequently improve the volume and quality of the content, I think a compromise should be attempted.

>>>Yes, the colour theme might be a bit outdated.

Go to My Account -> Customization -> Display preferences.
You will be able to change a LOT of display settings.

So a "Print to PDF" button would be of some help to you. See, changes already and we haven't even started thinking hard :)

Maybe also ePub or mobi with the option to save directly to Dropbox.

I second this. MOBI could even send directly to kindle via email. (I do that a lot: all as a big page, printable format, select all, paste in mobi editor, send to kindle via email)
