Read the August Newsletter ONLINE! (BETA)
We are experimenting with some new "Flashbook" technology that allows you to read our magazine online right away without the need to download it!
If you haven't seen it yet, click here to have a look at the August Newsletter online.
We're trying out the newsletters first. The technology still has some rough edges and we're working through those - for example, you will notice the newsletter's Index link does not work and the index (dashboard) page is just tacked on the end of the publication in a kind of odd location.
We hope to perfect this technology and roll it out with our magazine itself sometime in 2010. You can still download the PDF version if you want for offline reading, but if you'd like a one click method to immediately begin reading each new issue, then this is where we're headed!
Try it out and post your comments below. If you're having problems, please post those below as well - after all, we're wanting very much to find the problems before we roll this out with the magazine.

Great presentation, but slow response time
The Flash presentation technology with Issuu is great, however the paging feature seems a bit slow at times as others have mentioned also, but for me the issue was from page 4 through 11 on both tests.
In my instance it was tested on two browsers, an IE 7 implementation and on Mozilla Firefox 3.013 on a Win XP Pro SP2 system, and on a T1 network pipe. In each browser it seemed to hang on transferring data from document.issuu.com.
