Well, if you're looking for fancy formatting which makes it look just like the print magazines, I think you'd be doomed to disappointment with any reflowable e-version.

Lest you think FW's versions are bargain basement mimeograph knockoffs, I'll add that they do include the colour covers and interior black-and-white illustrations for the stories and such.

But you wouldn't be getting drop-caps or embedded fonts or special indenting on the poetry or anything of that sort.

Frankly, I'd consider the DRM-free portability, transferability, and the fact that they don't die after 7 days (or however long the expiry date is) and I can redownload them to be the main attraction of FW's MultiFormat copies.

Also, cheap with coupon pricing.

But if an Amazon subscription works better for you in terms of just-in-time-delivery convenience, by all means, go with it.
