Free Software Magazine dumps PDF

Free Software Magazine dumps PDF

Whilst not directly a Linux post, it still concerns Linux users since the Free Software Magazine publishes articles related to Linux.

Paper-as well as PDF-is now a thing of the past. Web sites are gaining importance-at full throttle. Publishers need to adapt-and need to do it fast.

I have enjoyed downloading and reading the PDF version of their magazine. Whilst it is true that reading it on their site will generate more revenue, I do wish that they provide a print-friendly format as well – to allow users like me who prefer reading articles off-line – to print with proper formatting. At least readers can generate their own PDF version of select articles.
