Title: Retro Gammer
Post by: trekiej on April 03, 2013, 12:05:07 AM

I was at Books A Million today and saw an issue with the A500 on the front cover.
Crud, I could not get it.

I wanted that one too, but I didn't see it in B&Bs, but I got the Atari Special edition, which covers ALL Ataris, computers and consoles.

Ugh, still no cash.

Hmm, I didn't even know such a magazine existed. I'm going to check this out (in case my username didn't already give that away).

I see there is an app on iTunes for this mag. Does anyone know how that works? If I run that app and buy some magazines, do I then need to be on-line to read the them or will the app save them in my iTunes folder and on my iPad for off-line reading?

I have this app for my ipad. You can either buy individual magazines or a subscription. If, like me, you live in the USA, the digital subscription works out to cost less than the print subscription.

You do not need to be online to read the magazines. When you buy an issue, the application will download it to your ipad. You can also delete the issue from your ipad to free up space, and then download it again for free at a later date.

I subscribe to GamerTM, Linux User and Developer and Retro Gamer magazines, all from the same publisher. Im very happy with the user experience.
