Formatting needs workNovember 8, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've read Asimov's for years, and when I saw it available for the Kindle, I returned to my favorite source of short fiction. What an appropriate setting for a science fiction magazine.
I knew that in going to the digital version, I would loose the wonderful artwork that frequently graces the pages of Asimov's. What I didn't expect was the poor formatting of the content. The text runs continuous through each edition, with no page breaks. The end of each article has a link to take you back to the table of contents, but otherwise, one line down brings you to the next item in the magazine. I'd appreciate page breaks at the end of each article or story -- something to bring some mental closure before being jolted immediately into the next.
The Best Thing for a SciFi Fan on the kindleOctober 11, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
SF mags like this are the lifeblood of SF. The training ground for new writers and a forum for the best SF ideas. Devices like the Kindle make these mags a viable business model in the 21st century. Support this. Buy this. Read this!
My favorite thing to find in my mailboxJune 11, 2008 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have read this magazine for over 24 years. It has an emphasis on thoughtful science fiction, never sinking to sci fi The Son of the Two Headed Fly. It concentrates on presenting scenarios that could happen and twists from things today which make you wonder, what if? To be able to carry numerous issues to read and reread whenever I get a moment is something I will truly enjoy.
Not what it used to beJune 4, 2008 4 out of 10 found this review helpful
There is too much indulgent emotionalism in the current stories - the philosophy and hard science of Asimov of old isn't found any longer.
What is up with the Kindle Price???May 7, 2008 35 out of 38 found this review helpful
I just wonder why the print version on this magazine is $3 less per year than the kindle version? Seems a bit odd to me. Doesn't the Kindle eliminate the need to print and mail this? Once it is lowered in price, I am all over it.
