From the Amazon page:
Amazon is thrilled to offer Kindle fantasy and science-fiction fans an exclusive free digest to the magazine that Stephen King calls “the best fiction magazine in America.” Founded in 1949, Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine is the award-winning original publisher of such classics as Stephen King’s Dark Tower, Daniel Keyes’s Flowers for Algernon, and Walter M. Miller’s A Canticle for Leibowitz. This free exclusive digest includes:
- All nonfiction content: editor’s recommendations, “Curiosities” (odd books of enduring interest), film reviews, book reviews, cartoons and humor, and “Coming Attractions” (highlights of each issue).
- One full story from the current full issue of the magazine.
- Short descriptions of the extended issue’s remaining stories and “novelets.”
If you are interested in reading the remainder of the stories and “novelets,” subscribe to the extended edition.
I guess I’ll see what I think of the free content before I consider whether to try the “Extended Edition
I used to devour this magazine! I didn’t realize it was still around. What a find – thank you!
Hi, Sue. I’m hoping this will help me find some new young (or old, for that matter) authors I’ve not read, as I seem to be having trouble these days finding new F/SF writers that really make me want to read more of their work.
Not available in Canada, but the full “extended” version is. Really disappointing, to the point I won’t even *consider* the full version.
I wish I knew why they do that. Is it some sort of import and/or export tariff issue? Do different publishers own the distribution rights in the US and Canada? Is it just short-sighted stupidity? Inquiring minds want to know.
PS: In the spirit of every little bit helps, maybe you can contact Amazon and/or the publisher via email or their support pages to let them know they’ve lost a potential sale. (I don’t know if the powers that be for either of them read my blog.
