4.0 out of 5 stars Formatting needs work, November 8, 2008
I've read Asimov's for years, and when I saw it available for the Kindle, I returned to my favorite source of short fiction. What an appropriate setting for a science fiction magazine.

I knew that in going to the digital version, I would loose the wonderful artwork that frequently graces the pages of Asimov's. What I didn't expect was the poor formatting of the content. The text runs continuous through each edition, with no page breaks. The end of each article has a link to take you back to the table of contents, but otherwise, one line down brings you to the next item in the magazine. I'd appreciate page breaks at the end of each article or story -- something to bring some mental closure before being jolted immediately into the next.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite thing to find in my mailbox, June 10, 2008
I have read this magazine for over 24 years. It has an emphasis on thoughtful science fiction, never sinking to sci fi The Son of the Two Headed Fly. It concentrates on presenting scenarios that could happen and twists from things today which make you wonder, what if?
To be able to carry numerous issues to read and reread whenever I get a moment is something I will truly enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars What is up with the Kindle Price???, May 7, 2008
By B. Lutton (W Bridgewater, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I just wonder why the print version on this magazine is $3 less per year than the kindle version?
Seems a bit odd to me. Doesn't the Kindle eliminate the need to print and mail this?
Once it is lowered in price, I am all over it.
