Can get 12 issues of Stereophile for R39.00

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. :)  :)  :) :-*
