How do you like the digital version of the magazine?

I never did subscribe to the paper magazine but I like the digital version, read it on my iPad all the time.  I actually prefer reading it on the iPad over my desktop PC.

I need to check if renewal is automatic though, I think I'm coming up on that time.

I like it a lot. You need a (roughly) 10 inch tablet to use it, so if you have a 7 or 8 inch one, I wouldn't bother. However, once you get a "full size" tablet, IMO, you can't beat the digital version. It's there, you can download it so if you're wifi only, you don't need a connection, you get back issues, you can search, it doesn't increase your clutter, just a whole bunch of things.

Strongly encouraged.

Go digital I love it . No need to wait for the mail guy to bring it to you. You will always have all your magazines with you as long as you have a tab or computer near by. Take the jump you will love it.

Just thought I would add....very soon we will be adding a variety of great options for digital and print subscriptions. 

Thanks to all of our subscribers!

I like it fine.  Read it on notebook or desktop.  Not a big fan of mobile devices, personal taste.

It's great, and you get extra content. The photos are clearer because you don't have the ink dots and the pixilation is almost non existent.

Recently became a digital-only subscriber, love it. I use an iPad Air, though a larger display would be nice.

I get both and am considering to allow my Print Version to lapse.

I also get both and I prefer the print version and that's the one I read. There are some extra photos and things in the digital version and it also helps support the forum here and there are some other extras for the digital version as well. The digital copy is good for reference when the print versions are upstairs somewhere and I am down at in the basement. Also good for printing out a single article or page for reference.

Right now have both and considering keeping only paper

While I enjoy paper magazines, they take up a lot of space and it's hard to find what I'm looking for later. The digital version goes everywhere and while it can be difficult to read on smaller devices, it's not impossible. I mostly use my laptop, but I have used my 7" and 10" tablets as well as my phone, though not very often. If I see an article I want easy access too, I "print" it to a separate PDF file with an appropriate filename, like I did with Jim Barrett's series on his layout construction. The filename (article title, issue, page) makes a nice mini-index when viewed as a list in Windows Explorer.

I have been a digital subscriber for about three years now and enjoy it because of the convenience factor, the added features in the magazine as well as the special features they publish from time to time like Ed Boyle's Collector's Corner.  That being said, in some ways I miss reading the print version.  I always enjoyed sitting back in my recliner and flipping through the pages of the latest edition of OGR.  Its just not the same with an IPAD.

I guess i'm in the minority. Had Digital for a few years now and ever since I haven't read the magazine. I'm on a macbook  and I can't get a whole page big enough to read. I really should drop my subscription. keep telling my self to get a new computer but to much money. I tried to get it hooked up to my TV but computer to old. Can I be a forum member without a magazine subscription ?

I enjoy both!

Thanks for your comments.

I, just a moment ago, non-renewed my digital sub. If there were an option for both I would have done that.

I spend enough time on my iPad and find I don't read the digital subscription.

But I will subscribe to the print issue. Why doesn't that get me a Premium Forum Subscription?
