re magazines going digital!
That maybe great for those with internet but there are still plenty of older quilters which I feel sorry for whom get these magazines that do not own a computer or an ebook or even smart/iphone phones. In fact I have younger friends whom can't even save or send a file to a disk/SD card.
One of my embroidery magazines (I quilt using embroidery machines) just informed me that my subscription went digital. I informed them I did not sign up for the digital (I did have the choice) because I frequently lose stuff on my computer! They are sending me the printed subscription. It will be interesting to see how long my 2 years subscription lasts in the printed page.

......okay digital gurus out here........I "use" a computer, have a smart phone, and an iPad, oh, and also a Kindle, but am no way very sophisticated in any of their uses.....I do not do any personal banking, paying bills or purchasing electronically.....fear hacking, etc. Having said that, what happens to digital mags if/when there is a loss of Internet service or your device "dies"? Can info be retrieved when source is regained? Just wondering....I personally have cut back on subscriptions, but do like to sit down and flip pages and make notes on something I may be interested in...I guess I am a Luddite.

I really like my hard copies. For Christmas last year my daughter sent me several boxes of quilt magazines. She found them at an antique store. They are from the 50's and 60's and in perfect condition. One of my BEST presents, EVER.

I have a question - we own a tablet, not an Ipad. My husband says it would be hard to print from the tablet. Would I be able to email the pattern to myself, then print it out from our laptop, if I had a digital subscription??

Oh dang that makes me sad. I love snuggeling up with a quilt magazine on the couch with a nice cuppa. I subscribe to most of them. I am not a fan of digital magazine at all. I won't be renewing my subscriptions either.

I do that a lot from my iPad, and it should work the same from any tablet as long as you can e-mail it to yourself. Try it and see.
