[SEDXC] CQ CQ where are you?

[Mack N4SS]

Thanks a bunch for the tip Jim. 
I installed the iPad app and subscribed to CQ for the price you quoted.
Works like a champ. For me it is much easier to read also. 
Thanks again.

Ian,

While you do need the Zinio app to read digital CQ, it does not limit you to
reading just on a desktop/laptop. There are Zinio versions for iPhone, iPad,
Android, Windows 8, and more. I read CQ on my iPad. I don't mind having the
app, because it covers several of my subscriptions (Consumer Reports,
Newsweek, CQ, ...), organizes them in ones place, and gives me a consistent
reading experience. It also downloads the current issue for me each month so
it's already there when I want to read it. I wish QST used Zinio instead of
their own, proprietary app. Unlike the QST app, the Zinio one remembers your
place in the magazine when you are away from it a couple of days.

BTW: I just subscribed to another year of CQ via the iPad Zinio app for
$11.99. I've been able to get that price for each of the past 3 years (vs.
$27 on the CQ website and $38.95 for print edition). I know some people have
a strong preference for the print version and I'm fine with that.

73,
Jim AD4J
