digital membership

Post by KIER »

I see a digital membership is € 29, 60 stated on the website.

Play store shows a membership for € 33, 33.

Buying one copy every month in play store shows € 2,30, and makes it € 27, 60 a year.

Can anybody clarify this ?

Another question: why are digital issues not for free for members with paper example ?

Rgds,

Kier

Kier, I agree with you on your last question. Last May I already posted my view on this issue, but so far no reaction was received from Scramble on my suggestion.
Pelican34 wrote:I can understand the problem Scramble has with making current issues available as pdfs. But can this not be overcome by introducing a certain time lag before a issue is made available as pdf, say two or three years? Most content in Scramble concerns actual developments, so in my opinion this will not affect the number of subscriptions.

It would be of great benefit to those who want to retain their Scramble-archive (but who run out of book shelfs) or for those who are interested in historical data. In the not so distant past, the military update sections were available to subscribers as pdf, so why not the rest of those old scrambles as well...

Hi guys,

The thing about the difference in prices is something we will check out.
When looking at pocketmags.co.uk, a single issue will be 2,69 euro and a 1 year subscription will be 29,49 euro (9% discount), this is correct.
Ont the ipad the price as as mentioned above, on the Google play it should be but apparently is not (I can't check it cause I don't have a Google thing)

Regarding why it is not free is simple, because we pay pocketmags for their services and we do want to earn money for future investments.

At the moment we are in the process of scanning earlier editions for future availability on the website, but at this moment we can't say when this will be a fact.
