Default NOVEMBER ISSUE - Gliding International

I just recently subscribed. The first e-magazine I received was fine. However, the second one is very difficult to read on my laptop. Further, the magazine now seems to be entirely unreadable on an iPad. I'm going to email the editor and see if they can go back to how it was. Piracy is a problem but trying to selling an unreadable magazine is going to prove to be quite a problem for their sales as well!

Same issues. I got a very prompt email back from them saying they'd have a better version on Monday. Hoping they get it all ironed out.

The quality of the online magazine is terrible. It is very difficult to read the text even on a 27" high resolution monitor. The downloadable version was easily readable. I will not renew my subscription unless the quality is top notch. Pardon me for the language but this is simply crap.

I still managed to download the pdf version, but I had to do it one page at a time, which took 10 minutes. The pdf quality was the same as before.

It isn't obvious to me how to download it a page at a time as a pdf file and, like the others I find it unreadable. This is my second issue and I won't be renewing when the time comes unless it returns to being an easily downloadable pdf.

I second the complaints about the online issue. Awful. I've had several email exchanges with the folks there. Cannot view it full size, full resolution. Very awkward. Please just send us PDFs.
