As some of you are already aware you now have a choice: You can get the magazine in its digital edition instead of—or in addition to—the printed copy.
This doesn’t replace the content you’ll find here on www.gradingandexcavating.com; all the articles will still be available here, along with readers’ comments and additional Web-only content. The digital version is simply an exact reproduction of the printed magazine with its original layout and advertisements. Clicking on the ads will take you directly to the advertisers’ Web sites.
The digital version is also convenient to read when you’re traveling—without adding one more item to the stack in your briefcase—and has all the shortcuts and options you’d expect from a digital publication: You can click on an article title in the table of contents to go straight to the article, zoom in on a page so that the type appears in just about any size you want, and so on. If you sign up for the digital edition, you’ll receive an email when each issue is published, letting you know that it’s available and linking you to it.
You can sign up for the digital version on our site, now or when you renew your subscription just by clicking on Subscription Services (www.gradingandexcavating.com/subscription/index.aspx).

Of course many readers will still prefer to receive printed copies of Grading & Excavation Contractor. But for those of you who are comfortable reading online, who want to save some space in your office, or who perhaps want to save a few trees, the digital edition might be the perfect option.
