Currently reading it on my iPad right now. Looks really sharp. I haven't bought any KW magazines before and this is my first. The price and the fact I can get it instantly on my mobile device or Kindle really made me go for it. Thanks.

You know..this is great. See this, go to Amazon, click buy and 30 seconds later I got it on my iPhone.

I don't have a kindle, or iphone. Just to be sure I don't spend money on something I can't use, can I d/l this to a mac and read it on there?

[Halcyon]

Woah. Way cool.

Yes, just downloaded the reader to my PC. There's one for Macs too.

I want to clarify something.
I know there is a kindle app for mac, but one limitation that app has is

Kindle newspapers, magazines, and blogs are not currently available for Kindle for Mac

I want to know if that means the KW on my mac or pc.

First issue of KW I've bought, and I have to say that this is fantastic. I've read a few past issues that I've borrowed off friends, but held off subscribing to kendo world in the past because I change my address quite frequently. It's great to be able to download and have it instantly on my PC, and for a very good price! Thank you KW!

Looks iffy, I just tried it on mine and it asked "how would I like it" for my ipad or iphone, no mac option. I am going to get it anyways and read it on my wife's ipad.

One thing I've noticed is KW is not actually set up as a Magazine but looks to be set up as a Book in Amazon.Also, you can always download the sample first to test it out.

JSchmidt: yes I already looked there and they do not mention magazines. That said both mac and pc people should be aware: of http://calibre-ebook.com/ an open source reader for all e-pub formats. that should do the job for all of us.

OK, the Kindle for Mac app works just fine. I tested it with the sample first (didn't realize that was an option,thanks nimrod.) I was concerned about the "does not work with magazines" clause but I guess what they really mean is that the app doesn't work with subscription based services. Works fine for KW though.

Just downloaded it. First time I ever purchase KW (no, I'm not proud).

The layout is not bad but I prefer the way the Economist's iPhone app is set-up to be honest. I assume KW doesn't really control the way the Kindle for iPhone works.

Any chance there's going to be subscriptions on offer soon?

[Alex]

If Kindle didn't work with Kendo World, it wouldn't be up there for download. The original printed journal format was modified slightly to allow it to be viewable in Kindle. Of course, we have no control whatsoever how Kindle works for the iPhone.No, there will be no subscriptions because there will be no need. Each KW journal will be made available on Kindle as it comes out. Will will still be producing the print version as well.

Awesome! It's been a bit of a wait, but I'm very happy now that it's here. Like a few of the others, this is my first time buying an issue simply because I didn't want to go through the hassle with a treeware copy.
