Who would be interested in an electronic version of the PondBoss Magazine and what would you pay??
I read several magazines and newspapers in a e-format. IHMO there advantages and disadvantages to both. Most publications that I subscribe to offer your
choice of e-format or print format for the same price, some offer access to both formats for approximately 150% of the standard subscription price.
Unfortunately, despite my obstinance, the world continues to move forward, dragging me along with it. I now find the need has arisen here in the shop, to be able to accept payment for services rendered on a mobile basis.

I'll bet those Ipads and E-readers would make pretty passable drink coasters, though....
The world is a changing place my friend. E-commerce and e-publications are here to stay and will continue to grow in the market place. Tech-savvy businesses are going to grow at a faster pace (at least in an urban environment and rural environments with good internet access). All one needs to do is look at the spending patterns of consumers. Notice the rate at which on line sales have risen in the past few years? For better or worse e-commerce and social media outlets are how the younger generation shop and network.
The PB Mag is focused on LMB and such.In my 52 years of breathing on this planet, I have never seen a person rig up to catch LMB. And only know of my nephew catching one a couple years ago by mistake! LMB are a Southern thing!
I'm not in the habit of defending Bob or Pond Boss (Bob can do a much better job of it that I) but I don't believe that this is a fair criticism. First LMB are prevalent almost everywhere in the US except in perhaps cold northern climates. Second PB magazine has had a feature "On Northern Pond" for several issues (I don't know for how long) that is aimed specifically at northern pond issues. This past issue had an article on Musky, I've never seen or smelled a Musky (which I'm assuming smell like Musk).
