I get quite a few technical publications. Some are print, but most are digital versions. Format is important to me. Some of these are such a PITA that I don't even bother with them. Send me the print version!!!
With the way things are going, a digital PB may not be bad at all. So many people are "bonded", shall we say, to their digital devices, that reading something on paper may be foreign territory.
Offer both! If the digital version could draw in some cash, could be another venue of revenue.
I subscribed to NEC Code Online for a chunk of change. Sure, I could read it, but could not print a page for reference. That sucked! I can just bring the print version with me everyplace. Even copy a page or two if need be.
I probably would not subscribe to a digital version of PB Mag.
Still have not subscribed to the print version either. When I move next spring, I may do that.
Another thing I am doing is saving loose pocket change in coffee cans for a donation to PB for the forums. I know I gave my Mom a few can's of penny's, and she got a new washer and dryer out out of the deal.
Pennies for Pond Boss Forum. I like that!
You would be surprised how much loose change adds up over time.
How many pennies from us would it take to provide the moderators with a modest stipend? Maybe even a nice dinner!
