Personal comment: It is slick looking with lots of articles. The articles are not entry beginner articles. You can download to a PDF.

Looks quite a slick production, with many stories, a bit like the early Gibbons stamp magazines. Have downloaded for later study.
However, if I have one moan it is that, as normal these days, the print is in columns rather than across the page, I really hate having to scroll up and down a page to read an article. I'm sure others do not mind, just one of my pet hates.

This is probably the first time I have a different opinion than sheepshanks:
Having just read the issue on my phone, I am glad it is in columns. When I go to enlarge the columns so I can read them, they stay one screen width which makes it easy for iPhone use. Not sure if that is why it’s in columns but it would be awful otherwise

@ Sally, I do not mind anyone disagreeing with me, I'm sure lots do much of the time, including the wife.
It is probably because I spend most of my internet time on a laptop, would no doubt be easier on the desktop. I have gone through all 52 pages and found it good and interesting, a great mix of articles. In fact there was not much scrolling after I had reduced the page size.

Great conversation and thanks to everyone who has read the magazine. We did make some tweaks to the reader and the magazine to improve viewing on mobile devices.
I read several articles on my phone tonight and had no issues. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to improve the experience.

Was one of those changes to make the type darker? The type in the white backgrounds was difficult to read yesterday but when I went back to check it out again today, it’s much better.
Not sure if it’s my phone or my eyes but it is definitely easier to see today.

We uploaded a new version with darker text and adjusted the mobile responsiveness to the Issuu platform. After the changes, it was much easier to read online. We've had over 3,000 unique reads since the launch, so thanks to everyone who is sharing it with friends and family. Keep up the great work!
