And are the formats proprietary? The layout and art for BG are an important part of the magazine (and takes weeks to do correctly) - I'd hate to have to convert the mag into something that didn't preserve most of the integrity of the design. - John Hey Peadar,

This wouldn't have to be a lot of work, since you already provide html excerpts from most of the stories on the web-site. It is a simple mouseclick to convert html to the e-book formats and the reading experience is much better too than with a pdf. Feel free to mail me if you need help or advice on this. Or if you merely want to tell me to mind my own business :) John has my e-mail. thanks, Peadar Ó Guilín How about providing it in proper e-book format for those of us with e-book readers?
