Yes, as a pdf file, but the pictures will be in greyscale and you need to zoom in and scroll around the screen to read anything, doesn't make it easy..

Yes, not only as a PDF file but as a proper Kindle formatted text heavy eBook with no ads.

eBook formats of our mag are available as part of every subscribers subscription package. You just download them from our Mag Archive. Once you are logged in as a subscriber the download links for all the formats from Flash, ePub, Kindle, PDF... are clearly displayed at the top of the issue page in our Mag Archive.

You can either choose to download the file to your computer and then cut and paste the file directly into the Documents folder on your Kindle or you can just email the file directly to your device using your unique kindle account email address.

We've got the past three issues of Singletrack available as Kindle versions as well as two books - Blame The Dog & The Armchair Features.

Been reading my STW on it for a couple of months, not as good as a glossy mag but much easier to carry around and dip in & out of between books or when waiting for a train etc

Glad someone posted this, since I have just subscribed digitally. Don't I get some kind of email with my issue in it? Or do I have to download?

All your subs access to the digital versions is accessed via the mag Archive. Much easier and more convenient that way. Emails can get lost or deleted or called spam.

So to download make sure you are logged in... then navigate to the Mag Archive (main menu above - maybe worth bookmarking it) click on the issue you want to read and then select your chosen format (desktop, PDF, ePub, Kindle) from the menu at the top of the page.

If anyone is going to the Bike Show in London then we have a stand. Jamie is there today and tomorrow and we have ipads, laptops, phones, kindles and desktop computers so that we can demonstrate how Singletrack works on all of them. Pop by if you want a demo. I'll be there saturday and Sunday to do the same. Existing subscriber or not, come say hello and have a play with our tech ๐Ÿ™‚

Have you guys ever had a look at Outside magazine - I downloaded a couple of issues through the iPad newsstand app, and was fairly impressed with the way they've arranged the mag for accessibility. it takes a wee bit of time to get accustomed to how the various bits of the magazine are accessed, but the end result is very like the experience of reading the glossy print version.

I have used it a couple of times and like the accessibility of it however, realised that the main reason I like the magazine is for the pictures supporting the articles(not sure what that says about me).

An email to remind me when the issue is out would be nice tho, since I have no idea!
