PC Mag on Kindle
This is kind of interesting. PC Magazine is now available for the Kindle.
PC Magazine stopped publishing an actual magazine a while ago, and has just been maintaining their web site, and publishing a digital version (which I think is in a weird format, not a PDF or any normal e-book format) since then. And, just this week, it was announced that ExtremeTech, a related Ziff-Davis site, would be shutting down. Or at least almost shutting down. So, I'm wondering exactly what they'll be publishing on the Kindle. I'm guessing it won't look much like the old print PC Mag. It's interesting that they're trying to keep it going in some form, but I wonder if anybody cares at this point. Is anyone interesting writing for it? Do they have enough of a budget to do benchmark tests and stuff like that?
