I think HTML prototypes, if done right are very portable in a zip format, though I like the idea of a PDF as there's a lot less to explain (unzipping, possible security issues with running JS locally in IE etc.). Of course, HTML can be posted to a private server as well. All that said, one of the things I love about paper prototypes is being able to write on them directly, while sitting in a room with the client.

Funny how you mentioned that HTML prototype is not portable. Not that I disagree with your point, I just had mentioned in my blog that one advantage HTML prototype has over the paper prototype is its portability. http://djteknokid.blogspot.com/2008/04/rapid-prototyping-pt3-beautify-on-fly.html But once again, it is only portable comparing with the paper prototype. What's your thought on the zip file? We can basically zip the whole directory of HTMLs and Gifs for a client's review. Doesn't it work as same as sending the PDF files?
