Apex Magazine to begin PDF edition
Official Press Release
Apex Magazine is delighted to announce that starting with the February issue, they will be offering a PDF version of the magazine in addition to the website version.
“When we made the step from a print digest to an online magazine, many of our readers asked us why we couldn’t do both,” said Jason Sizemore, publisher and editor of Apex Magazine. “By publishing a PDF version that will have the same look and feel as the original digest, we hope to meet those readers where they live.”
The PDF version of Apex Magazine will contain the same quality fiction and features that Apex’s readers have come to expect, but formatted in the style of the digest. In addition, each PDF will include a cover, art, and other features not available on the website.
“We’re planning to publish extra articles and essays in the PDF version as a bonus for those loyal readers who chose to support Apex,” Sizemore said. “But rest assured that all the fiction we publish will continue to appear in the online version as well.”
The PDF version of Apex Magazine will cost $2 an issue and will be distributed via email. Readers can also order a full-year subscription at a discounted price of $12.

[...] My story, “Cai and Her Ten Thousand Husbands,” is now live at Apex Magazine. Check out the contents for the whole February 2009 issue here: there’s some great stuff, including SF Murphy’s “Tearing Down Tuesday” (which I saw in Interzone a while back, and really enjoyed at the time), a couple of things by Lavie Tidhar (this guy is everywhere!), and I got a particularly good kick out of a little nonfiction (I think) piece by Alethea Kontis titled “Monster in the Closet.” (Oh, the flashbacks from childhood!) Also, Apex is launching a subscription PDF version of the magazine. That’s not much good for me, since my ebook reader handles PDFs horribly (for now; we’ll see whether the iPod Touch I plan on getting soon handles them better), but I’m sure some people would be happy to subscribe. If that includes you, find out more here! [...]
