Hi Paul,

It has long been the case that a PDF Issue of S&T has been available from Shop at Sky each month.

See> https://www.shopatsky.com/sky-and-te...-digital-issue

An S&T subscription is only available through Zinio. A subscription is cheaper that buying each issue (USD5.99), but that is still much cheaper than buying it through a Newsagent.

I would rather pay extra for each issue in order to get a PDF version of the mag. I currently have a subscription to the CanonPlus magazine through Zinio, and I hate Zinio as I do not think it is all that user friendly, unlike PDF. I won't be renewing the CanonPlus mag through Zinio.

For those that want a PDF S&T go to https://www.shopatsky.com/ then Magazine>Digital Issues>Sky&Telescope>2010 - 2018.

Note that the 2019 issues are located under 2010 - 2018. And be aware that there is an "Other available formats Magazine". Be careful not to press the Print Magazine button.

Also note that sometimes you have to go to 'print' version and then download "other available format. Digital issue". I have only had to do this once because it didn't show up under digital straight away.

After downloading go to Account>Available Downloads to download issue.

Hope this is of help for those who want PDF versions of S&T. Other mags in the S&T banner are also available for digital downloads.

Cheers Pete
