    not everyone wants to sit in front of a computer screen to read a magazine. I prefer the hard copy so I can sit and read it at a time to suit me with a nice cup of coffee in my favourite comfy chair etc. Also the mags these days have 80% + recycle material in their make up and then I recycle the mag.... thanks though for prompting green issues..

    sounds like a great magazine, thanks OP :)

    I also prefer hard copies of magazine to read on the bus & in bed. :D Electronic copies can be tiresome on the eyes.

    my point being:

    Save trees, energy, royal mail van polution, costs for the Moneywise people.... you'll see why

    Giving readers of MSE the chance to have a free electronic copy would save these resources:

    Moneywise's costs would be reduced significantly for this one-off promo by going digital and so would enable them to provide a free read to more than 10,000 people to have the chance of a read of their magazine and so helps their promotion AND as well more MSErs :money:

    In this instance I was saying if we ALL (not just 10,000) got a free electric copy, more people get it at less cost for Moneywise and the environment. :D

    I'm not somebody who says all printed material should go digital, I am somebody who thinks about more people benefiting from a promo like this. Would you put up with an electric copy so ALL MSErs could have an electric copy too???

    Indeed someone would, then no-one would buy that months mag would they?

    And also, I don't know about you but staring at a screen reading a h uge article does have an impact on your eyes after the 4th or 5th page! Whereas with printed material you can relax in bed and read it before you go to sleep :)

    If you're that concered about the environment have you thought about joining a group? Or going out planting trees in your back garden? Or not driving?

    Dont forget that to read an electronic copy means using electricity, usually from power stations burning fuel.....Not quite as green as you may have thought then?
