Thanks for suggestion. It is hard to say now will electronic version be good enough or not. Paper books and periodicals are still the largest part of market. May be, people just like to touch paper?

You guys rock! I personally prefer paper based periodicals as I like to ‘get away from the computer’ and just read in a more comfortable place. For that reason, I’ve bought both editions of the magazine available through Lulu.com and its been wonderful. I’d highly encourage others to do the same.

Yes, I would be interested in such a magazein if I can get a valid paper invoice for my (own) company (in Belgium it is abolutely imperative to have valid paper invoice for each purchase a company wants to make).
I too prefer the written version of a magazin. Yes, I like to touch the paper… I just find that with electronic magazines that, I have to print them out, but than the magazine is loose and it just is not read.
Keep up the good work, I am still reading the first magainzes, but the quality is very good (from what I have read so far).
Thanks,
