In the next 5 years, printed magazines will be costly as an incentive to go digital. Already there are other scale modeling magazines going to digital with plans to end print. Newspapers are dying each day and so too are many magazines, those adapting to digital are surviving.

They said television would never last... same about cell phones too. Adapt or do without. I'm even seeing some 70+ year old's I know are finally starting to take interest in the computer, smartphones and internet...they are tired of being left out/behind by their peers and the younger generation.

Probably one of the reasons my new show is seeing a surge is its interesting and informative as well as being very portable which makes it convenient. Between the twice daily rebroadcasts, live streaming and iTunes it fits the modern digital lifestyle so many are transitioning to.

I have a friend who makes a weekly business trip which takes him a couple hours to drive. He downloads the shows on his iPod and listens through his car stereo.

Pretty hard to take a compter into the john...

It's called a tablet and goes anywhere. Further, if the magazine were available on Nook (includes full color) your smart phone could also access it, I believe.

Looking at the subscription form, it would appear you could download it to any device. And at $10 for 10 issues, it's quite a (comparative) value over the dead tree format.

Any moderators able to answer this?

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I don't at this time. My question is if I don't renew my subscription will I then lose access to those issues that I have already purchased? I checked the FAQ's and couldn't find an answer to this. If I could have access indefinitely to everything that I have purchased, regardless of my subscription status, then yes, I would get the digital version.
