Quote: I'm all for making a digital version available immediately when the issue is ready, perhaps as a supplimental to a subscription.
Not too long ago there was an issue of S&T out there in a pdf format, as an experiment. (I remember this because I thought someone was pulling a fast one on you guys and contacted you and Rick to try and find out what was going on. Had my finger on the moderator button, yessiree... ) Once we were assured that it was legitimate, I gave it a good look. My conclusion was that, should it be made available as a subscription option, I would switch to it. Like many of you, I keep my issues of S&T (as well as any other astronomy magazine I pick up at the bookstore). What I do not have is plenty of storage space for old magazines, so having a downloadable version of S&T would solve a problem for me.
