Google Docs (via Google Drive)

That is where I do all my writing for ease of saving and access on other devices. It works basically the same as Microsoft Word minus some of the more intricate features, and everything is saved and backed up in the cloud to Google Drive. Any document can be shared with others for viewing via email, but you can use the Google Drive controls to restrict what others may do. You can set it to allow the others to only view the document, to make change suggestions and leave comments, or even edit completely if you please.

It separates different reader's suggestions by color, so you can see how different people viewed different sections more easily. Also, once you make any changes everyone else will be able to view those changes immediately without having to resend, or more importantly reprint. You can also revoke access to the document at any time as well as restrict it so that others are not able to download and save a copy themselves if you don't want them to.

Only downsides I can personally think of is that you have to continuously have an internet connection, and I am personally unsure of whether or not readers can see eachother's comments and suggestions, but that should be easily tested.
