eBook Transition + Fictionwise's sale

[deirdre]

I've now read more books in e-formats in the last year than I've read traditional paper books.

For years, since at least 2005, I've been reading technical books as e-books, but it was only last year I started reading a lot of biographies that way. I've been reading the major sf mags in e-format since 2007 at least.

Yesterday's discovery: ePub formats (from the multi-format option) work great on an iPad. Thus, I can have my electronic mags in iBooks. w00t!

Also, fictionwise is currently having a 40% off sale on the multi-format, which means back copies of the various sf/f mags (and non-sf/f mags) are also on sale. Don't have an iPad? There's a format that'll work for you and keep the clutter off the physical shelves.

Here's what I've found:

Interzone
F&SF
Analog
Asimov's

Also:
Ellery Queen's MM
Alfred Hitchcock's MM
Black Static Horror

For most of these, you can buy subscriptions, too.

Addition: On Spec is available through Zinio, which has readers for iPad, Mac, PC, and forthcoming reader on Android.
