Reading a magazine on my Sony PRS-600

Hi,
A brand new newbie here, so bear with me? Question not as daft as it might sound, I subscribe to "Word" magazine,they send me a link to their digital edition which opens in my Browser. So, the link is not any format as such, my naive instincts tell me that if it is digital it must be convertible but, even using Calibre, I have had no success. I am not a techie, any solutions in a language I can understand, please?

I've had a look - assuming that it is the music magazine based in UK we are talking about, I suspect it is a special format online only magazine with a simulated reading experience with turning pages etc - but there might be an option to save as PDF?

Unfortunately without an account I can't tell - there is no preview I can try.

If you can save to PDF then the Sonys do a reasonable job of displaying, though not so good for the images.

It IS the music magazine based in the UK, thank you for replying, if I can convert it to a PDF, hey, I can move on from there, we'll see!
Thanks again.

Pat
