STG's

I have been reading Analog Science Fiction and Fact since the early 90's. Back in 04, I started subscribing to the e-book edition, on Fictionwise. However, in the last few years, the subscription option disappeared. I've also gotten lazy about transferring new books to the device, as the usual book just come automatically through WiFi. I have read the Analog's formatting has improved, and since it is so cheap, to subscribe to it on the Kindle. I have to say that the new formatting is fairly acceptable. Personally I think that having links to each section, and being able to skip to the next item is almost useless for the magazine, and takes up space, but it is not a problem - on the Kindle. I also read on my Android (Galaxy S), and on it the magazine is pretty awful. It doesn't remember where I stopped, and neither does it allow highlights. Very annoying!

I've been reading Analog since the 90s - in paper, from newsstands. Several years later, I subscribed. And when I found it in e-book form at Fictionwise, back in 2004, I soon switched. The April 2011 edition is the first one I've read on my Kindle (Mobi format). Naturally, it is much better to read it this way than on the palmtops and smartphones I used over the years. I do like that the cover graphic is available, although I miss the story art (not available in the PDF format either, I was surprised to see). I'll be keeping to Fictionwise for now - not only I hear about problems in the Kindle versions bought from Amazon, it also only allows reading on Kindle hardware devices, while the Fictionwise version can be read on Kindle, PCs, iPad, smartphones, and more. A bunch of nice stories on this edition, although nothing that seems memorable. One item that I found interesting enough to comment on was the Science Fact article - Smart SETI by Gregory and James Benford. ...
