Not that our publication is annoying when it breaks up articles into a bazillion pages, but if you hate the prospect of clicking "Next" a hundred times to read a story, you might want to give the Firefox extension Repagination a try.
Install the free add-on and whenever you come across a Next Page button or link, just right click and use the Repagination context menu to magically display all the pages at once. It's pretty nifty, though not perfect.
I've only tested it on our site using this article. What Repagination does is render every page then stack them in a single browser window. This means you get our logo and all the branding/marketing links at the bottom of the page for each rendered page. The article text itself is not contiguous, but you don't have to click next a million times.
Repagination also has a slideshow setting that is supposed automatically advance you to the next slide after a user-selectable number of seconds, but that feature didn't work with our slideshow format and only was able to advance one slide and no further on Boston.com's format. Looks like that feature still needs a little work.
Despite it's imperfections, Repagination is worth a look. I guess it's yet another entry we'll have to add to our Firefox extensions list.
