Are you a subscriber?

I thought this was some pretty cool use of technology myself.

When we see something of interest in the magazine, now you can open the digital copy, and reference the URL right to the specific page/article.

Might be good for discussions when they have articles that catch everyone's attention.

It's nice to have a magazine to read on the couch but if it's free and people don't subscribe to it, why would you ever subscribe to it when you can pull it up here on the net? I will still subscribe because I won't take my desktop on trips

but it seems to me like people won't have to subscribe to see the mag, oh well it's not money out of my pocket

i agree with you why would they do that? but im definetly not complaining

Cost of the paper, shipping, printing. They make money from ads, not your subscription. This is probably a file conversion of their in house mag editing software. Probably doesn't cost much to do, and ad revenues may go up. Probably a smart business decision.

I remember the first time I ever picked up the magazine, or at least the sled that was on the front cover. It was a purple polaris indy. lol I think it was like 1983 or 1984. I was in our high school library, bored and there it was a snowmobile magazine. wow I guess I am getting old. lol Anyway wish I would gat a magazine every month.

daner · Aug 20, 2009

Nice idea, no sitting and waiting for it to come, buy it form the gas station, then MAYBE get the magazine a week or two later.... sweet.

I think you answered your own question there.

Its VERY nice to have the paper magazine to lay back and read in comfort where and when you want to.

The digital version is great for content, but its just not as satisfying as the real McCoy to read.

Are you having subscription problems????

CleElum Sledhead · Aug 20, 2009

The issue shown at the link is an issue of the magazine that went to some people that don't have a paid subscription. Not sure if they will all be free for viewing on the website. If so, very cool.

christopher · Aug 20, 2009

Ya, it might be a teaser or a one time deal.
But what a SWEET way to show off the magazine to potential new subscribers!
