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 a 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 e-mail 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 now on our site when you renew your
subscription (click on Subscription
Services). To see a demo right now of what the new format looks like, click
here and browse through the January/February version of the
magazine without a subscription.
Of
course some readers, for many different reasons, 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.
