Hi Roy - they've come through now. :D

I'll be reading them on a Sony Reader in epub format.

Thanks, do they look good on the Sony?

They look great. They looked nice on the Rocket eBook too. I love that you make it available in multiformat.

The only niggly thing is that I wish the title was just Interzone #221 - including the whole subtitle pushes the issue number off the edge of the menu screens, meaning you can't tell the issues apart. I can use Calibre to rename them, but I can imagine it being a pain for some users.

I've found a bit of a problem - Laser Fodder and Mutant Popcorn are missing from both issues. I've downloaded the issues in pdf format and the problem's there too.

Thanks and sorry. I will pass the comments on to Pete and see if we can get the file repaired

Just got 'em and am super-pleased. Since getting an iPhone I'm finding my electronic reading far more satisfying than I did on my Sony Ericsson p1i. Almost, in fact, as much as I did on my old Palm Treo 650 (which is a lot).

Now if Stanza for iPhone would just introduce auto-scroll, I'll be 100% satsified.

As for the electronic editions, no gripes at all. You must have fixed the media review issues since the above posts because they're present and correct on my copies.

I've decided to continue with the Fictionwise subscription despite the delay in delivery (which may improve, who knows?). I can now have IZ in my pocket wherever I am.

Many thanks.

Those sections seem to be still missing in epub format, but everything's there in pdf and lrf, so I'll use one of those.

Thanks Kenny, Rolnikov. I'll pass the messages on. I have no idea why there should be differences. As far as I know Pete sends one file to F'wise and they convert it to all the other types they make available.

Same for the mobipocket version. I didn't look at any others.

They are in the pdf then?

Hello Blue. It seems there are still problems. I'm told the PDF is complete but I've no way to check that other than pay for the file from F'wise. I'd rather not do that but as it's free to Interzone's F'wise buyers it seems worth checking.

I know that you and Kenny said IZ 217 was incomplete at one stage. Did that ever get resolved do you know? Is it whole now? Sorry about this.

The text in the pdfs of 220 and 221 seems to be complete, but there are loads of "INSERT IMAGE "Authors-IS221-2359.jpg" HERE" in them.

Just redownloaded 217, still the same chopped off version.

221 PDF does appear to be longer and the full thing though.
