Not a bad start
Not a bad start. I had no problem downloading Nov 2, Nov 9, and Nov 16 issues. There are lots of basic features missing though -
- no bookmarks or ability to make annotations (there is a a nice notes page though, where you can type your own notes or copy/paste -- but not way to easily link to the article)
- no way to save articles or file them into personal folders (a feature I thought was mentioned)
- I like that reference numbers jump to the reference -- but there is no way to get back to where you were in the article quickly. Not unexpectedly, there are no links to the actual article.
- The font used for the articles is terrible. In the table of contents, everything is formatted nicely and the font is a nice readable font (same as in the print edition?). The actual article however, uses a fixed width sans serif font (courier?) that looks terrible. Furthermore, all the lines are squished together, making the article very difficult to read.
- I do like the links to associated content (articles, interviews, etc.) on cardiosource.
- It would be nice if I could turn pages to read, like the iBooks or kindle apps.
Overall, not a bad first edition -- Im not sure it quite replaces the print edition for me, if nothing else because long blocks of text are so hard to read. Its certainly good enough that I may not carry around the print edition anymore, but if I have both on hand (say at home), Ill probably still read the print edition.
Looking forward to updates and improvements -- and getting rid of the print edition!
