See the little link on the left side of the screen? That's the new gateway to our digital edition.

Tell your friends! Heck, tell your enemies, too.

David When I clicked the link that I got in an e-mail, it asked for a name and password- using the one for this board didn't seem to work. Should I try again, or will I get an mailing telling me what my username is to start a new account.

edit- you have to have your mailing label to register. w/o that, no digital edition...

anyway, I'd love to have one that I keep on a reader, and read away from a network (say an airplane)....

Correct, the digital edition is not tied to your message board log-in. It's tied to your magazine subscription.

I'd like one that renders nicely in a text only browser like my kindle dx

In development and coming. We promise. Until then may I suggest Delta, who has the most planes currently equipped, or jetBlue, who's in flight WiFi is free.

We do Delta, but wi-fi is expensive. Cheaper to buy the magazine...

I really like the text feature. I can look at the magazine page and read the text on the side without squinting or resizing the page.

Pardon my ignorance, but do subscribers have access to the digital version in addition to print or will signing up for the digital version terminate one's print subscription?

Good question.

Signing up for the digital edition does not change the status of your print subscription. You will have access to both versions. Consider it to be a little bonus for subscribing.

Thanks!

I bet it is cool. I'll check it out sometime. I'm fairly certain if there are perks for subscribers I'd rather have one of the T-shirts you used to send me. It seems like it has been a few years since I got one. I promise to wear it everywhere and give you a good return on your investment.

AWESOME. Thanks GRM, now I need to upgrade from my wife's nook color as 'this device may be too slow.' Looks great on the old laptop.
