Digital magazines

Just noticed a link on the website of a magazine many of us are familiar with, offering a subscription to a digital version.

Has anyone any experience with such? My paper sub has lapsed, I know most content appears on the website eventually, but I'm still drawn to buy the mag most months.
Are the adverts still in?

Re: Digital magazines

TBH I've never noticed the adverts, only to the extent where I turn the page. I expect a digital version would have even more.

Personally, I prefer to be able to spend time away from the computer. I don't fancy lugging the PC into the toilet just to read a mag.

The only reason I still subscribe is so I have something to read on the train. I guess I could use a laptop, but paper doesn't run out of battery and takes no time to boot up. It also doesn't matter if I leave it behind.

I haven't actually read the last 2 months. They're still in the cellophane!

Re: Digital magazines

What's a digital magazine?

Surely is that not just a website?

I think they are handled by Flash (or similar) and have “page turning” features. So a bit more work than a website to get through.
