Do you mean the nook subscription is the DRM-free ePub?

Ah. I see I missed a vital word or two from my post. Now edited so that it makes sense.

Ah, the Nook store doesn't seem to offer back issues; nor does the Kindle store or Zinio.
I was waiting to see if my Fictionwise library showed up before purchasing the January issue. At the moment it looks as though the only way I can get it in the UK seems to be via the DRM PDF version of the Magzter store (which also seems to be the iPad version). Oh, well better get it there before it disappears, I guess. Graham |

Well, I subscribed to Asimov's at Nook UK. The February issue came through to my Nexus 7 immediately and was readable in the Nook app, and downloadable, etc.
But the March issue appeared today, but with a message that: "This title cannot be viewed on this device." And there's no way to download it. It also doesn't appear in my account on the web page. I've raised a call to customer services, but is anyone else having the same problem? Graham |

I can't believe that folks are wiling to pay in order to endure such frustration.
Cancel your subs, tell their customer services why, and what they need to do to get your custom back, then get from *other* sources until they come to their senses. Seems like only a boycott will get their attention. If the authors represented are in blissful ignorance, look for a way to message them also. |

I was shocked to see that I might have missed the Feb Asimov's and March Analog. So I signed up for a trial subscription at Amazon.
Only to find that neither subscription will work with my iPhone. A chat conversation with technical support confirmed that Analog and Asimov's are only available for Kindle on iPad or iPod Touch and nothing else not even Kindle on iPhone. Chat in spoilers: Spoiler:
In the course of a telephone chat yesterday, a support chap did try manually sending the latest issue, and I did receive April Analog on my iPhone, so I can confirm that the Amazon issue do have DRM applied. Off to B&N, I think! |

Subscribed at B&N. Only current issues there. At Amazon you can also download the previous two issues.... IF you have an iPad or iPod Touch!
But then, of course, there's the DRM. Which I don't think can be removed for files on an iOS device. Grrrrr. |

My old iPod touch works! And I have the issues. Unfortunately, the tools don't seem to work with iOS devices anymore. Sigh2.
This is all a lot of hassle for what should be something very simple! |

Barnes and Noble also wanted me to phone back every few days to see if there'd been any progress. They can't 'send out emails' apparently.
I can't try getting the March 2013 issue through Nook for PC, unfortunately, as I've just installed that and it's only for the US .com accounts. To give Magzter credit, DRM-laden PDF it may be, but the January issue was delivered seamlessly. Graham |

I'm not sure how B&N handle back issues long term, but all the issues since the beginning of the year (when I started my subscriptions) show as available. As you say, I'm on the US site.
