DRM is the cause of the online edition of QST looking less-than-ideal.
Sorry, but not off track. I was responding to another post. Check the
thread a little closer.
The DRM that ARRL uses is not real DRM, you can make unlimited copies,
you can download as many copes as yoru bandwidth will allow, It is just
that the first time you open a copy on any given computer you have to
"log in" with your ARRL user name (Call) and password and you must be
connected to the net. That one time.
After that it opens normally.
Older versions you can download PDF's. they are straight scans of the
paper document. But you need to download article by article by
article, Major pita.
That said.. I have to say I do not really like the Nextbook system.
Lots of reasons. Even if there are things in the digital version (like
hyperlinks) they can not put on paper (Though they are starting to put a
few QR codes on paper) I would much prefer say Mobi format (kindle) or
Nook or ________.
