IPC Boating mags on the iPad

[Richard Shead]

Agree many but not all of the ads are aimed at local sailors but the articles are fresh and cover a wide range of worldwide cruising interests. Anyway it's 144 pages, most of which are of some interest, so well worth a read and of course
it's free and no doubt with a huge circulation all paid for by ads. Wonder when IPC boating mags will go this way?

Different business models and not as bigger circulation as you would think. They have similar publications on the East Coast (spin sheet / prop walk or talk.) both publishers I know.

When I get back from Dusseldorf I will try and explain a bit more on the free aspect (or lack of it) on our titles now. As always it's far more complicated than you might think !

Richard,

Any chance you can enlighten us on this change of offering? i am now landed with a paper subscription which is pretty much worthless to me as i always have my ipad when i have time to read this magazine and rarely the paper copy that comes through the door.

also, i maybe doing somthing wrong but i cant now see all the last years subscription magazines thast were downloaded. my library tells me i need to pay for them or there is an error in downloading?

Hi

I am still trying..but if you had access before you should have access now UNLESS you stopped and then restarted again (not renewed)

I am not sure why you would have an error in downloading the ones you already own? have you tried the usual? turned the machine completely off and on as well as updating the app etc? if all that fails please email me and we will take it off line (this line) and try and get to the bottom of it.

thanks Richard, can you let me have your e mail address and i will send you a message. i dont honestly know if i was renewed or a new subscription started as it was bought as a gift for me.

Many thanks

Richard, I swapped from MBM to MBY, and I used to get paper and iPad MBM. For some reason IPC decided I had ended my subs, which I hadn't planned to do, which left me with a gap in editions. Also, I now cannot get MBY on my Pad. Most frustrating. Is there anything that can be done?
