1) What is the digital format, and how is it different from the print format?

We've partnered with Zinio (the number one provider of digital magazines) to provide our magazine in a new digital format with the same layout, text, and advertisements as the print version. Zinio offers a paper-like reading experience, as well as many other advantages listed below: 

   a)   Your subscription starts immediately. Get your first issue right away, rather than waiting several weeks for your print version to arrive.
   b)   Automatic delivery of every issue directly to your computer via the Internet as soon as it is published, often before you would receive your magazine through the regular mail.
   c)   The ability to read your magazines anytime, anywhere – even when you’re offline.
   d)   A Table of Contents that takes you directly to the articles, features, and sections of most interest to you.
   e)   Quick links to advertisers’ sites and additional content on the Web.
   f)   Keyword search that helps you find a topic or name in seconds – across all issues on your computer or in our online store.
   g)   A “Send to Friend” feature that allows you to share free digital copies of your magazines with your family and co-workers.
   h)   Paperless archiving. Keep back issues on your computer for fast reference and easy storage.

2) Does the digital format contain everything in the print format: articles, photos, and advertising?

Yes, the digital format offers you the same great content, and the same great design as our print magazine. You won't miss a single article, photo or advertisement.

3) What application will I use to read my digital magazine?

Zinio has developed an application called Zinio Reader. When your first digital issue is available, you’ll receive an email notification from Zinio. As you download the first magazine, you’ll also be guided to register with Zinio and download the free Zinio Reader software.

4) Will the free Zinio Reader work on my computer?

Zinio Reader works with Windows XP, 2000, ME, 98, and NT operating systems, as well as Apple Macintosh OS X Versions 10.1+.

5) How do I get my digital issues?

 

When you install the Zinio Reader, you will also create an account with Zinio. You will be notified by email when each new issue of your subscription becomes available. Zinio Reader also has a “Delivery Manager” feature that will download your issues automatically or you can retrieve them manually if you prefer.

 

6) Do I need to be connected to the Internet to read my magazines?

 

No, you only need to be connected when you download your issues. After that you can take your computer anywhere and read your magazines offline. Of course, certain features such as hyperlinks in articles and advertisements, or “Send to Friend,” require an Internet connection.

 

7) Can I read my digital magazines at work and at home?

 

Yes, you can install the Zinio Reader on two (or more) computers, and then download your digital issues to your desktop at work and at home, for convenient access anywhere. Your magazines will be saved on your hard drive so you can read them any time – even offline.

 

8) Can I run a keyword search on a particular subject?

 

Yes, you can. You can search across all your magazines for a word or set of words, making it easier to find that article you remember reading last month.

 

9) Can I share my digital magazines with friends and colleagues, like I do with the print version?

 

Yes, Zinio Reader has a “Send to Friend” feature that lets you invite friends or colleagues to download their own free copy of your magazines.
