Some of you won’t be able to imagine reading Dumbo feather in anything but its 112-page, matt, 100% recycled glory, but for the rest of you, this might be pretty exciting - we think so.
We’ve teamed up with the crew at Exact Editions to offer you subscriptions to digital versions of Dumbo feather. They’re identical to the print publication except viewable in a web browser. Here are 10 reasons why we think this’ll appeal;
- As well as the next 4 future issues (a year’s worth), you also get digital access to all the back issues.
- Which are searchable … ‘um, what was the name of that writer who tattooed each word of her story on a different person?’ …
- It’s cheap - only A$30 for a year…. particularly attractive for those of you on distant shores.
- It’s about as ‘eco‘ as you can get. Despite using 100% recycled paper, soy-based inks and reducing wastage as much as humanly possible, making a print publication still consumes valuable resources and produces bad stuff.
- You’ll be able to access it at work… for research only of course!
- There’s no risk… you can get a full refund within 30 days if not completely satisfied (or even a little bit satisfied).
- All the web links are ‘live’ and clickable.
- You can give digital subscriptions as gifts… perhaps for that person on the other side of the world.
- You can print pages.
- You can bookmark pages.

Great initiative, especially in green terms and for our far flung friends. Having said that, I’m going to stick with the hard copy - I still get excited when the familiar envelope arrives in the mail and from the very first issue I bought have loved how it feels in my hands.
Its like seeing Df all dressed up - so sleek and shiny behind the screen! But I’m quite fond of my tattered-edged, coffee-cup stained copies..
