Dromia what are your thougfhts on the e book?

is it a kindle?

Roll on the Kindle version then, as that is easy on the eyes, I tried testing pdf's on my kindle and it did work but the whole file was too big to work really well and it didn't flow that well, hence I came to using the iPad version. Incidentally is it a Kindle you use or another e-reader and will it take any PDF?

BTW the internet does have print costs - its just called bandwidth, hosting data on sites costs money and the more data you host the more it costs. Thats why most broadband suppliers limit the usage unless you are on their top tier rate. But you are correct in that the costs are tiny compared to traditional print. As per Spud's request though I would dread to think how much a limited print run would cost per issue, probably cheaper to buy a Kindle or e-reader than buy a years subscription!

Hi,
As anyone had the August issue on boing?

No sign of it yet, welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the reply,thought i was doing something wrong and thanks for the welcome.

Hi all, new poster here. Just found out that you can read the mag using my android phone, I assume it will work with android tablets as well. Would deffinately subscribe for a kindle or similar edition that works across multiple devices.

Mines an elonex ebook had it a couple of years at least mow works champion, page turning is bit slower that on a 'puter but the lectronic ink is so easy on the eyes no back lighting unlike a 'puter screen you can't read it in the dark. Its handy and can go any where especially the reading room (cludgy). I have a heap of shooting stuff on it Sharpe, Naramor, Walters Nonte etc. I also have Handloader complete from issue 1 through to 2005 I put 2 or three years at a time on and browse my way through them. Can read it for hours unlike a 'puter screen. Suits me just fine just need some current content that is just a plain and simple PDF without flash git technology and readers/

Vince,

Probably a silly question, but is there any way you can hurry up Apple on the iPad August edition?

I stumped up the annual subscription, so would be great to get the current edition.

Cheers,

Jud

Jud,

We are most displeased ourselves - looking into it.

Thanks Vince. Good luck trying to extract anything from Apple.
