ARRL drops the other shoe on print version of QST
In article , Bill Horne wrote: I just got the email from the ARRL: "QST's Stacking Up? Get Digital QST Only". ... with a button to push if I want to opt out of getting the "dead tree" version of QST. What do you mean by "ARRL drops the other shoe"? Are they making the digital edition mandatory? From what I've seen of the online edition, it looks like the pdf file that was sent to the printer to make the paper-and-ink version. The articles are shown in page-image format, which means that each page appears as it would if I were holding the paper-and-ink version open, but with the lower 2/3 of each page obscured. Hmmm, I'm not seeing any obscuration. Is it some kind of shaded gray that's covering the bottom part of the page? Oh, and to be clear, are you talking about the Nxtbook version of QST on the ARRL website, or did you find a way to actually download a PDF file? Oftentimes, these flashy online digital magazines let you download a PDF version, but all I see with this one is an option to run their software on your computer. No thanks. :-) If you're hoping that the League will convert each issue to HTML format, complete with nice layout and graphics, I wouldn't hold my breath on that. The reason companies choose solutions such as Nxtbook is because it's a lot easier and cheaper than redoing the layout in HTML. Patty |
