> shame reading it from a pdf though,

What makes it such a shame? It's full color, properly formatted, and nothing is missing. Looks beautiful on my color e-ink device.



The reading experience on screen is worse than paper normally, but manageable. But when it comes to such pretty artwork and design, there is just something special about having it in physical touchable paper that makes a massive difference.

There is also the casual nature of reading a physical newspaper. On a screen i feel pressured to consume it all in one sitting, or i'll forget it and read something else next time. But with a printed copy, i can put it on the coffee table to read bit by bit over a few days, or just admire the design while relaxing.


Yeah it probably wouldn’t be great on a phone but it was fantastic on my iPad this evening.
