Guys while I love the online content and being able to read the magazines in digital format it would be wonderful to be able to download them straight to my iPad. I can in the archives of SA which is great but not the current issue. Same way with experimenter which is great as well.
Now I have to download it to the computer and then transfer it over. Lots of unneeded steps.
Thank you
Keith

If you do this, then you’ll simply see the full version as if you were using your regular computer, the download link will appear, and you can load the .PDF directly.
Obviously, you shouldn't have to do this, especially since neither of these apps are free: Skyfire is $4.99 and Atomic is $.99, last I checked. But, as I said, it does provide a workaround in the meantime.
Thanks Hal
I have Skyfire already so I'll try that next time.
Keep up the good work.

I tried using Skyfire and was able to download the PDF but was not able to transfer it to iBooks or good reader to save it. Any ideas? Again thanks and keep up good work.
Well that's certainly frustrating...! Until very recently, once you'd downloaded the .PDF in either browser, if you tapped it, you could bring up an "Open In" dialog, which would show options like iBooks or other apps that support .PDF. From there, once it was opened, it was either saved automatically or you had a save in/as option. This isn't working that way anymore...
I'll keep digging into it and let you know what I find.
Cheers-

Hal that is correct. I'd tap it and that box wouldn't open up. I'll try it again this week sometime.
