In some of our EBSCO databases you may see either/both HTML or/and PDF full text options.

html and pdf options

If you select PDF full text, the full article will open and will look like a scan of the original article. It will have the same formatting and all the pictures, charts and graphs that were in the original article. If you select HTML full text, the text of the article will open within the database. It will not have the formatting of the original article. Many times pictures, charts and graphs that appeared in the original will appear in the HTML full text but not always.

One nice feature of the HTML is that the article can be read aloud to you:

text to speech bar

If you click 'Listen' you can listen to it within the database. You can choose the reading speed, download as mp3 and more.
