Well, I'll be happier if we could, because those papercuts are nasty. Not saying Yay or Nay to the idea, but you can certainly watch this space.  :)

Aah that means we won't get a Zinio version but an interactive AVSA iPad app. Drool!

Look for the Reader's Survey in our Feb issue - this is something we are looking into, but we need to guage interest from current readers, as the thought has long been that most people still prefer to have a physical copy in hand for their money. Depending on feedback, and the survey will be posted here as well as on the AVSA site, we will certainly take a serious look into it if demand is high enough.

Why not have both? Your stuff is already in an electronic format so it's not a major leap to get it into an electronically distribute-able format. Little extra work to capture a market that you've not tapped into yet. Run that on a trial rather and see how it fares, maybe incentivise it with a once off 3 month subscription for the price of one printed copy?

I will take any and all suggestions into our first meeting of the year. I'm nice, hey?  ;)

I'm not a regular reader, but do buy sometimes when it crosses my path. If it is available on my ipad, the. I will subscribe yearly, since then it is easy enough. Same as with fhm.

I would subscribe to an electronic copy as long as I could increase the font size.With my eyesight I find the hard copy very hard to read.Furthermore I do not trust the post office delivery system and only buy it from a retailer if I can find it.

You have my vote for electronic version for a few reasons
- saves on the clutter
- easier to reference
- environmentally friendly
- and very often I have difficulty finding a copy unless I go to a mall to CNA

It,s a no brainer for me  ;D

Ruzena appeals to me more than you will ever do.To blame someone else is not being the boss.The boss is to blame he should ensure everything is right. :)  :)  :) :-*
