How does the digital edition work?

First, you purchase a subscription through our digital store. When your order is complete, you will receive an email containing a link to your first issue in PDF format. (If you purchase a single digital issue between 194 and 205, you’ll receive links to all four formats available for those issues. All four formats will remain available to you, so you can choose a different format any time you like.) When a new issue in your subscription is published, you will receive an email with a link to the new issue in PDF format.
