John-NYBWIt doesn't matter to me whose fault it is, if I'm not getting my issue delivered, there's no point in continuing to subscribe. If I'm not happy with the service, I'm not going to renew.
I understand.
I guess I was trying to say that blaming Kalmbach and complaining to them is probably not going to help anything. Mail delivery of their magazine is out of their control. I'm sure they're not real happy about it, either.

SeeYou190I just can't read periodicals or books electronically
I can read it, but as presented, I see 2 pages too small to read. Yes I can enlarge them, yes i can scroll around to read more but paper and eyeballs were more efficient, worked in full sunshine and would be worth the risk to take it into the bathtub.

KemacPrrI just received my March MR. With the USPS being what it is with the pandemic I don't believe that Kalmbach can be blamed for late issues. ---------Ken
The Wilmington Delaware distribution center has been particularly messed up since before Christmas.

Someone in my neighboirhhood reported getting a CHristmas card, postmarked Dec 14, just this week, Feb 18. Yeah, the late issue is not Kalmbach's fault here.
I dunno, but when I read my electronic issue, and the other electronic magazine, it's not 2-up, it's one page at a time, and if I hold my tablet in portrait orientation, which is 90% of the time I use is - for reading other ebooks via Kindal and so forth - it's slightly smaller than a magazine page but much bigger than a paperback book page. If I rotate to landscape oerientation, then I get 2-up pages that are just too small to read - too short and compressed. Portrait mode always for reading.

I agree that it's just a matter of time before the paper editions go bye-bye.
I use to get my newspaper delivered each day and then the Pandemic hit. So I went to the digital edition. About the same time I purchased a Tablet. Now I find me spending more time on the tablet, with it's WiFi portability, and less on the PC. I have even started watching things like sports on the tablet. Beats walking down to the bottom of the driveway each morning in all kinds of weather to search for the newspaper.
I Almost missed it. I glanced at the renewal notice and saw that the price was good, so I kept the email. When I went back to look closer, I saw that the digital magazine was included in the subscription. I renewed right away.
I had considered letting the monthly lapse for a while. It seems I get more benefit from the special issues, which seem to be more numerous in the recent few years. Like others, I prefer the paper copy, but in certain circumstances I enjoy having the digital copy. ZINIO works great.
Still trying to figure out the trains.com site. After signing in on Trains, I clicked on forum and I was directed to the old site and had to sign in again.
It did seem like Kalmbach was charging for every single thing, like compilations of track plans that are available for free to subscribers. Those issues were frustrating. I am very pleased with Kalmbach‘s decision to combine the digital and print together at a reasonable price. Thank you Kalmbach! I look forward to checking out the full benefits vs price of the Trains.com site.
My understanding is that the monthly magazine and the online magazine have identical content and both are now included in the monthly paper magazine subscription price. Someone mentioned videos but it's my understanding that MRVP still requires a separate subscription. Is that correct?
