Hi all,
I have just renewed my subscription on-line and was taken by the fact that you can now get the mag in Zino Digital format.
I thought what a great idea as I can file them away on the computer and can easily search for any article.
My wife put the blocks on this though when she said "And can you take the computer to the loo?"
Regards Gerry.

One of my brothers said he does some of his best thinking whilst enthroned. There are that many books in there it's known as "going to the library" in his house
Lots of love

You could always go wireless. :idea:

Out of interest, can you tell us:
- What the size of each Zino copy of KG is when saved on your PC?
- How you find using it?
- What types of searches are possible?
.. Can you search a directory if files, to help you find a subject amongst lots of different issues, or
.. Do you have to do a search, one issue at a time?
.. Can you use any tool to search, or do you have to use the search tool built into the Zino reader?

I used to get a trade magazine using Zino a couple of years ago. This was online-only and whilst interesting, it wasn't particularly nice to use. I'm sure they've improved it since then.

Hi Colin,
I can't answer your Questions. I went for the magazine. No doubt someone else will.
Regards, Gerry.
PS. OH, I bet it hurt giving that reply.
