5.0 out of 5 stars New Kindle Format a Winner! September 7, 2009

By Mark H. Pierce

The November 1, 2009 issue of Analog magazine (received September 2nd) has been upgraded to the Kindle menu format. It is vastly improved! All the comments that complain about the difficult formatting should now be ignored. With this most recent edition, a sections list includes the following topics: Serial (1 article), Novelettes (2 articles), Short stories (2 articles), Science Fact (1 article), and Reader's Department (6 articles). The magazine also states the word length of each story, especially helpful to help the reader determine if he/she has time to read through the whole thing in one sitting.

I have been a subscriber for years to the print edition, but have also read the magazine in several e-book formats. The Kindle was by far the best option of all, with the only drawback being the terrible formatting. With this new edition, all the reasons to hold off on subscribing to this longest running science fiction magazine for your Kindle have been removed. I love the stories and now love the Kindle version. The Serial story of this month's issue, "To Climb a Flat Mountain," is especially worthwhile! (I can't wait until the conclusion next month!)

I subscribe to and enjoy both Analog and Asimov's. If you can only subscribe to one, make your choice based on how much you like the addition of science fact articles, which Analog includes but Asimov's doesn't. For those sci-fact lovers, go with editor Stanley Schmidt and Analog. For the pure sci-fi lover, you get more fiction usually from Asimov's But honestly, at only 3 bucks a month for each magazine, you should get them both. Where else will you get so much entertainment for only $6?

2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and delayed delivery killed my interest April 2, 2009

By D. Lee Penn

I've been a subscriber to the paper version of Analog for many years and love the magazine. However, my 3 year subscription to the paper version only cost me $86. The Kindle subscription would cost me $36/year or $107.64!!! This is $21 MORE than my paper subscription. If the price were more like $2.00/month, I'd get it ($72/3 years).

Then, the delivered issue was the May 1st issue when I'd just read the June issue. A one month delay did not excite me at all and has been mentioned by other reviewers.

I'd really like to have all my magazines on my Kindle. BUT, I will not be sc....d over on the price and delivery. Amazon can do without this sale.

PS: Love the 14 day trial periods. This was just a bad choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars One or two months behind [may have gotten better] May 14, 2008

By Flash Sheridan

Despite the claim that "Your Kindle Magazine is auto-delivered wirelessly when the physical issue hits the newsstand," the Kindle version is one or two months behind the newsstand version. The physical July/August 2008 Analog (with a David R. Palmer novel for which I've been waiting twenty years) went on sale May 13th, but the Kindle version available on that date was the May issue. The June issue was posted a week or so later.
