Yes that seems right.
I manually converted one of those issues from pdf to .mobi and the result is a mess. I guess there is no other, more suitable format to convert to?
In either case, I entirely hope they will switch from the flash-based reader to some html-based stuff at some point, which will hopefully allow to extract the content more easily. Or is there any possibility to extract the issue from the flash-reader app?
Thank you.
