I'm reading it on an iPhone and I got the whole thing on one page. Maybe you're using a browser the site doesn't recognize so it's sending you s version optimized for a "least common denominator" mobile browser? I know some old phones and/or plans couldn't handle large file sizes.

Like eljaco, I was using Chrome on Android. When I switch to the built-in Android browser, then I get everything on a single page.
That seems like a really fragile way to build a mobile site, and I don't really understand how splitting the article over 13 pages would be better for "least common denominator" mobile browser...

Simply selecting "Request Desktop Site" from the menu in Chrome for Android pulls up the same (quite usable) one-page presentation. This is just a bad "mobile" site in general, and a broken browser detection scheme on top of it.

Like I said, there exist mobile browsers that can't load large pages. I used to have one. I think their browser detection could stand to be a lot better, but the least common denominator really does require paging.
