I just signed up for "Digital Stereophile" at $15.97 for 12 issues ... cheaper than a subscription with delivery to Australia. I downloaded and read the May issue in bed last night on my PowerBook (ignore the comments on Stereophile's web site ... the Zinio Reader for Mac OS X is now available).After some initial reservations I have to say that it looks and works great! On my 15" 1280x854 screen it's just possible to read the two-page spread but I prefer to zoom in and use the up/down keys to move from one column to another. Definitely different to having the print version but there's real pluses in having a library of back issues always available on your hard-disk. And you can do keyword searches. The software needs work (a bit slow and the prints, if you need them, don't look that great) but very promising technology. These Zinio guys are going to make squillions.
Whether you agree with Stereophile's editorial policy or not ... even if they just bagged your fave equipment ... at this price it's a no-brainer.
