I'll admit I could find out elsewhere... but it was recently revealed in another thread that GRM can answer anything within 24 hours.... so

I've never subscribed to any of this organizations publications. ONLY because I'm tired of getting magazines.... I've got BOXES, and BOXES of magazines... they followed me 2800 miles when I moved from Pa to Or. I DON'T want any more paper!!!

BUT I would like the magazine experience... so my question is... Is GRM/CMS available in a format (thinking online catalog type) that is magazine like but just not put on paper and sent through the mail?????

There are quite a few ways to get the magazine digitally but I'm not sure if there's a way to get it without getting more paper (last I checked, it wasn't, but that was a couple years ago). I'm in the same boat because getting the paper would be a major PITA process for me. Edit: There is sort of a way, you have to "share" a subscription with someone else - send the physical magazines to them and you use the digital stuff. I remember I tried this but then had a billing problem.

Personally I'd like a digital-only subscription to the version of the magazine offered directly through the website (same delivery mechanism as the freebies they sometimes offer).

We have a new app launching in the next few weeks that WILL allow us to offer digital-only subs. Keep an eye out in our site and the forum--we will announce it as soon as it's available.

Keep the razr and buy a decent tablet. It will be easier to read.

Their current app has virtual "pages" that you turn.

Seconded. This sounds like what you need.

Will the app allow off-line reading? I would like to be able to download my copy and then read it later while not connected (usually while flying).

Thanks!
