I didn't get the impression from any of the posts that there there was an exclusivity deal of any kind actually signed with Amazon or anything like that. All I heard was desperation. And confusion as to whether subscriptions were possible
Hopefully it's only temporary, but it sounds like the magazine is about to go under to me. Which makes JSWolf's cry to "pirate the hell out of them" and "one-star bomb them" the equivalent of kicking someone when they're down. Classy.
How about we wait on a little bit of evidence before potentially handing a drowning man an anvil? Hmm?

I think this is very likely. F&SF has made a number of changes aimed at reducing costs lately and this is just another one of them.
