"Please Note: This product is a digital downloadable magazine, not printed and posted".



I saw this phrase while checking out an on-line cross stitch magazine. What is the difference between these two forms?



thanks mag

It sounds like the magazine is designed specifically for digital, rather than being a scan or printable copy of a print magazine. Likely it does not exist in print form.

Ah - thank-you Dawne!!!

The magazine is done strictly digitally - as in written for the web. To view it you download the file, and then view it on your own computer in whatever software you have that reads pdf files - like Adobe Acrobat Reader, or for Macs, Preview works as well. You can then print what you want to locally. The other type would mean it was an actual paper magazine that has been scanned and then posted - i.e. The scanned images. Digitial only means it exists as an electronic version only, all the graphics, etc are electronic images rather than scanned paper ones. Means the graphics are clear, no issues of poorly scanned images, etx.

Gift of Stitching is one of those magazines - once you have a subscription, you download a file and then store it, print it, as you choose. There is no paper copy from the publisher.

Thanks Ellice - now that I know, it seems a bit obvious. Keeping up gets harder and harder. vbs
