Thursday: E-Magazines

Today's post is from my pal Betsy and contains some more basic information for people delving into the world of electronic book reading devices:
E-readers aren’t just for books. Many of your favorite newspapers and magazines are available in digital formats that can be read on your PC or you E-reader.
Check your E-reader manufacturer for the newspaper and magazines that are available for direct download to your device. Most can be purchased as a single edition or as a subscription; subcription terms vary. Some magazines are only available on color E-readers, and these publications are usually known for their photographs, so color is the best way to view them.
There are many magazines that are available as digital subscriptions that are not available as a direct download to your E-reader. The majority of these seem to be in PDF or EPUB formats that most E-readers utilize; again check with your manufacturer for more information.  You may get these delivered to your email inbox where you can download and save them. After they are on your PC you can then side load a copy on to your E-reader and take your magazines and newspapers with you wherever you go.
