What
is the digital format, and how is it different
from the print format?
Science magazine partnered with Zinio to provide Science
in a powerful, new digital form with the same layout, text, and
advertisements as the print version. The digital format offers a
paper-like reading experience, but with many advantages possible
only in digital format, including:
Automatic delivery of every issue
directly to your computer via the Internet.
The ability to read Science
Digital Edition anytime, anywhere even when you're offline.
A hyperlinked Table of Contents
takes you directly to the articles, features, and sections of the
most interest to you.
Quick links to advertisers' sites
and additional editorial content on the web.
Keyword search that helps you
find a topic or name in seconds.
The ability to highlight text
and add Post-It-like notes on a magazine's pages.
Paperless archiving. Keep back
issues on your computer for fast reference and easy storage.
Does the digital format contain everything in the print format:
articles, photos, and advertising?
Yes, the digital format offers you the same great content, and the
same great design as Science magazine. You won't miss
a single article, photo, or advertisement.

What
application will I use to read Science Digital Edition
Zinio has developed free reader software, called the Zinio Reader.
When your first digital issue is available, you'll receive an e-mail
notification from Zinio. As you download the first magazine, you'll
also be guided to register with Zinio and download the free Zinio
Reader software.
Will the free Zinio Reader work on my computer?
Zinio Reader works with Windows XP, 2000, Me, 98, and NT, as well
as Mac OS X 10.1 and 10.2 operating systems. A Pentium III 300Mhz
processor is recommended for Windows users, a G3 or more powerful
processor for Mac users. You'll also need a 56.6k or faster Internet
connection.
What if I'm behind a firewall?
In order to install Zinio Reader and receive digital magazines, you
need to have rights to download software over the Internet. Some companies
don't allow employees to install software themselves, but your System
Administrator can download the Reader for you. Check out this FAQ
for instructions now or look for more information on Zinio's website.
How do I get my Science Digital Edition
issues?
When you install the Zinio Reader, you will also create an individual
account with Zinio. Zinio will notify you by e-mail as each new issue
of Science Digital Edition becomes available. The Zinio
Reader also has a Delivery Manager feature that will download your
issue automatically. You can retrieve them manually if you prefer.
Do I need to be connected to the Internet to read Science Digital
Edition?
No, you only need to be connected when you download your issues. After
that you can take your computer anywhere and read your magazines offline.
Of course, certain features such as hyperlinks in articles and advertisements
require an Internet connection.
How much disk space does a typical issue take up?
Each issue is about 10-20MB. The Zinio Reader software is about 10MB. |

I read Science Digital Edition at work and at home?
Of course! You can install the Zinio Reader on two (or more) computers,
and then download your digital issues to your desktop at work and
at home, for convenient access anywhere.
If Science is in digital format, does
that mean I can do a keyword search for a topic?
Yes, you can. You can search for a word or set of words that appear
in the text of a magazine, making it easier to find that article you
remember reading last month.
Can I mark up Science Digital Edition the way I do with the
paper version?
The Zinio Reader has highlight and note features that mimic the way
we use paper magazines. Highlight key passages that you want to return
to, or jot yourself a reminder about a product of interest that you
want to research, or an event you want to attend.
Can I print from the Zinio Reader?
Yes, two pages at a time.

there a charge to access them?
