I am far more likely to read my e-zines now than my paper printed as I'm on my computer working far too much and it's much easier to thumb through in breaks. I just want to know how to create them other than PDF!

I still forget to look at me ezines sometimes but I do enjoy the format. A few years ago I didn't check email all the time or surf sites like IMDB while watching a DVD. I now "think" web and as I take two grocery sacks full of magazines and catalogs to the recycling center I think I should continue to go more of the e-zine route.
I have had similar issues with e-zines (forgetting to download & read) EXCEPT for my Before & After magazine. BOY do they have it right! It is formatted for screen & print. They have BOTH print and electronic subscriptions available (and if you want the printed -- like me, but also having the "instant access" of the electronic version, you get both!) As for other mags, viewing a vertical-formatted mag on a horizontal screen is just plain annoying...

E-magazines are a pain. Especially trying to read them on a laptop. I've had two mags I subscribe to converted to e-mags... and I never read them now. I forget to download them... or I download them and forget about them... they are just awkward. I much prefer to sit down on the couch, kick back, and turn the pages. I love the new InDesign Mag, but I hate the fact that it's digital-only. I much prefer having the option to access both... print and digital. Maybe I'm just biased, but I really don't care for the e-mags. The ability to print things out later isn't much of an appeal, as it now become my costs, ink, toner, paper.
e-Mags Got My Vote
