5. What application will I use to read my digital magazine, and how is the online version different from the print format?
We provide our digital magazine through Texterity software. This method preserves the paper-like reading experience by converting content to HTML, which you can access, read and navigate with any contemporary web browser. Other advantages include: - Immediate subscription service. View your first issue as soon as you subscribe, rather than waiting several weeks for your print version to arrive.
- Automatic delivery of every issue directly to your computer via the Internet as soon as it is published, often before you would receive your magazine through the regular mail.
- The ability to read your magazines anytime, anywhere -- even when you're offline.
- Quick links to advertisers' sites and additional editorial content on the Web.
- Paperless archiving. Keep back issues on your computer for fast reference and easy storage.
6. How do I get my digital issues?
When you provide your e-mail address to sign up for the FREE subscription, you will receive an e-mail confirming your subscription. From that point on, Winding Road will notify you by e-mail when each new issue of your subscription becomes available online. You may visit the website at any time to access the current issue or any of the back issues.
7. Do I need to be connected to the Internet to read my magazines?
No, you only need to be connected when you view your issue for the first time. After you save them on your computer, you can take your computer anywhere and read your magazines offline. Of course, certain features such as hyperlinks in articles and advertisements, or "Tell a Friend," require an Internet connection.
8. Can I read my digital magazines both online or offline?
Of course! Once you save the digital magazine onto your computer, you can open it anytime, anywhere, for convenient access anywhere. Your magazines will be saved on your hard drive so you can read them any time -- even offline.
9. Can I share my digital magazines with friends and colleagues, as I do with the print version?
Absolutely. Just open the magazine, and click on the "share" link on the top navigation bar. You can send a specific article, or the whole magazine.
10. Will back-issue archives be available? Is there a charge to access them?
