- QMAGS to Offer
Downloadable Magazines
|
- QMAGS is set to offer exact
copies of print magazines in a downloadable form.
The digital versions, which will retain the exact
same layout and design as their print
counterparts, will be available only to those who
pay for a separate digital subscription. The
company promises a June 2001 launch, but no firm
date is set. The publications will be delivered
in the popular Adobe PDF format.
-
- The digital
magazines appear on users' screen two pages at a
time, simulating the experience of reading the
publication in print. These digital versions will
also include all graphics and advertising
included in the print versions. The two page
display also maintains the effect of any two-page
"spread" advertisements appearing in
the magazine.
- QMAGS will also
allow the magazines (or advertisers) to add
audio, video or other multi-media enhancements
not possible in the print versions of the
publications.
-
