The weirdness continues.
Amazon eventually stopped selling me F&SF for £1.98 per issue at Amazon, and started charging me £29.99 per issue.
Unsurprisingly, I cancelled, got a refund and looked around. It was still supposed to be an annual subscription at Amazon for £29.99 or £5 per issue.
But I found it was also carried at Weightless Books for $29.99 per issue, or about £3.60 per issue with the exchange rate as it was them. A bit more than £1.98, but much less than £4.99, so I subscribed for a year.
And now my subscription is up. It's still £29.99 for a year at Amazon, but the Weightless Books subscription is now over $36, which with the current dreadful exchange rate works out at just over £30 a year.
I've have every electonic issue since January 2002, although I started subscribing in June 2003. I don't really want to stop, not it has C C Finlay editing it, but I don't think I can pay £5 per issue. Although I see that I did pay £4.25 for th double issues back when it was published ten times a year.
Well, I have at least a couple of months to make up my mind.
Oh - and I'm still buying individual copies of Asimov's and Analog for £2.49 per issue, instead of the £3.98 they'd cost if I subscribed. Madness!
