Australian Sky and Telescope electronic version

Has anyone subscribed to the AST magazine via electronic download? What are your thoughts? I've only downloaded the demo magazine and it looks good on iPad. I also downloaded the Cosmos magazine for a look at the same time. The Cosmos demo was a full month copy and it was also well laid out and easy to read on an iPad.

I've subscribed for a year on the iPad. So much cheaper and avoids the paper clutter.

It works well on iPad but doesn't have the rich features of other mags. Its like a good quality PDF which is fine but they could add so much more - I guess it depends on your subscriber base.

Can you download to multiple devices?

Downloaded the latest edition (April) this afternoon, very impressed and looks great on iPad. Don't know about multiple devices?

Hi Mick I have been wanting to subscribe to this for a while now and your post got me to do it so if you want to check it out on ipad just come around and have a look. It looks good.

Is anyone having problems downloading the latest edition to their Ipad? Its not available in my library and I have a subscription. I have tried restarting/rebooting my device. It is available now in the App store and asks me to open it which I do then it goes to my library but its not there.

Have emailed the publisher and then rang them after a few days I am not hopeful that they will help.
