If you’re following me on facebook and twitter you might have noticed that I’m also promoting a few e-magazines every now and then. The world of print media is changing, and a lot of publishers are opting to publish e-zines instead of paper magazines to cut costs, to reach a global audience, and to make use of the digital possibilities like making photos and advertisements clickable. The latter is a big advantage for us, readers, as we can click on the stuff we like and be swiftly directed to the retailer. Reading and flipping through a magazine becomes an interactive experience. Another advantage is that most e-magazines are FREE! You can print them, download them, save them in your online library, access them on your smartphone and share them with your friends.
Today I would like to share my e-reads with you. All covers of the magazines in this blog are clickable and enable you to flip pages, so please do so, to find out what you’ve been missing. There are probably a lot more inspiring e-magazines out there, so please leave a comment if I am the one missing out on something.
