On a big learning curve now with how to go about getting my stuff out there. I've looked around your site and you seem to have a pretty good handle on things - I'd appreciate any feedback you might have on my site. <br>cheers, <br>John Hi Mathew.

(Disclosure re -- possible bias, or vested interests) we have an alternative approach. But the real problem with these issue-based readers is that they do not allow for (1) decent archives (2) multiple subscriptions (point well made by MI) or (3) cite-ation and bookmarking.

It\'s browser based and also allows a download that is a single webserver app that runs through whatever browser you want, pretty low key. I\'ve also played with the new reader from Adobe available from Adobe Labs at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/digitaleditions. It appears to be selling ads in preselected boxes (to the point made by Mathew), but this is beta software at best and its unclear how successful it will be... after all there is already an Adobe Reader!
