TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

How is the "digital" edition different than the regular printed edition?

The digital edition is a replica of the print edition, but it offers you many additional advantages, including:

• Instant and discreet delivery of every issue directly to your computer via the Internet - the first day it's available to the public.

• Enhanced features allow you to quickly search articles, zoom-in to see every detail and access exclusive video and audio clips.

• Quick links to jump to the page that you want to see instantly.

• Collect your issues to access anytime, anywhere with easy archive and search capability.

• Same great magazine with high quality photos viewable in an exciting way!

What is the digital format?

We've partnered with a company called Zinio ™ to create a convenient, new digital format that features the same great content and the same great design delivered straight to your desktop over the Internet.

What application do I use to view in digital format?

The digital edition requires free reader software that was developed by Zinio and is FREE for our customers. When your first digital issue is ready, you'll receive an email notification along with instructions on registering with Zinio and downloading the free Zinio Reader ™ software.
