NEW (PAPER) MAGAZINE ABOUT ZX-81 (free :) )

Buka:
Thanks mate. Spasibo.

So seems like there is no any big interest in the magazine, if only one person was interested?
I'm asking due to check out any point of releasing the next issues of the mag, further in future.

[Rink]

Well... I have read a couple of the PDFs and I do like it, but to be honest, I'm not interested in buying paper.

I know you really wanted this to be a hard copy but for me, that's no good. If this was (for example) delivered through newsstand on iOS then I'd be buying every issue.

[yerzmyey]

Nope, it wasn't about buying anything - I just gather informations about sense of releasing next issues.
In any form, also electronic one.

PS: Thx for the next vote btw.

Hmm - making it available on a market place is not a bad idea actually - what book reader market places are the best ones? Amazon?

[Rink]

Didn't Amazon recently open up self-publishing options on Kindle? Obviously not all the readers would be able to view the graphics, but the Kindle apps for smarter systems would.

[RWAP]

Yes - just had a look at this - although it is a real pain to set up.

I can upload each magazine as a word document (luckily Yerz has developed them in Word) - not sure how it will cope with the custom font!

Realistically Yerz would need to do this as he is the publisher / author - but then you start hitting the Amazon issues....
You need a US tax number, or else have to pay 30% with-holding tax. Payments can be made either by cheque or bank transfer from the USA - my bank charges £12.50 (I think) for international payments !

The book / magazine can't be available electronically anywhere else for 90 days... Does that mean I would have to take it down off my website (and Yerz's) to be sure.

Seems a lot of effort for no return!

[yerzmyey]

Hehe, I'm far too old for all those tricks.

[Rink]

Hmmm. Will have a think.

I'd have loved this on newsstand (no good for non iOS folk though) and might have even offered to set it up for y'all and write any code needed but (long story) I'm loosing access to my intel Mac so won't be developing on iOS for a while.

Well, I'd like to say thank you to both Yerz and to Rich @ RWAP for MONOCHROME
I have recently bought paper versions (all four issues) from Sell My Retro, and have also downloaded them as PDF as well.
I'm a bit of a mix of old school and computer mad, in that some of what I read, I prefer on screen, but at the same time, I enjoy sitting in the sun reading real paper magazines and books

So I say, keep up the good work

As for reading on portable devices, well PDF works on iPhones kind of... And it's much better reading than some other computer magazines

OK, so there still are on both forums persons interested in the magazine about ZX81 and clones.

Thank You guys and the mag will be continued.

PS: Somebody said that one can't say "persons" and instead he should say "people". Hmmmmmmmm.
