These days, provided you are at an academic institution, clicking on reference links in online publications opens papers as .pdfs on publishers sites pretty quickly.
@Rhialto: for me the advantages are a) fetching texts from a wide variety of sources into a single 'catalogue', b) ability to search across the texts via author, keywords etc in Calibre and via full text search tools outside of calibre c) ability to read things off line - at weekends I'm often on a satellite link, d) some of my sources are unreliable - i.e. just because something was there yesterday doesn't mean it will be there next week

My areas of interest are economics, finance and law.
