I stopped reading The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction when they dropped Fictionwise for a Kindle device only edition and I don't have a Kindle. They've since opened it up to android and IOS kindle apps, but I can't read it on my phone because the kindle app takes up over 1 GB on my phone and I don't have enough space free for it. Every other SF/fantasy magazine is far less restrictive with their ebook editions. I'm an outlier, but I feel that they dropped me and even if I can eventually read their magazine on one of my devices, I'll never resubscribe.
