Anybody read "Science News" on a K1?

KlondikeGeoff · 07-17-2010, 04:36 PM

I would like to subscribe to "Science News" on my K1, but it likely has a lot of graphics, diagrams, etc. I wonder if anybody has read this on a K1, and if so, how well do the graphics show up?

I know I can try and cancel if necessary, but just wonderer if anybody has had any experience with this.

You get a free 14-day trial. Just try it and see if you like it.

I think it is available via Calibre, isn't it? We have it at the Library and it is a very colorful, graphic publication.

I have a print subscription and get it via calibre on the side. Haven't tried bringing it down as mobi, only as ePub. Works fine.
I'll give it a try and report back later.

I have a subscription (for 2 or 3 months now) and read it on my K2 with no problem. I'm sure there have been a few diagrams or photos which would have been more useful if in color, but none to the point where I felt I hand to try to view it on my PC or something in order to understand it.

Thanks, all. I bought just the current issue,and it looks pretty good, and the graphics are OK when I zoom them.
