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?

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. :D

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!

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.
