New Yorker magazine launches full digital edition, free to print subscribers

While much of any given week's New Yorker magazine content has been available online for some time, print subscribers can now enjoy free access to a complete, digital edition first thing each Monday morning as the magazine comes off the press and considerably ahead* of when most people receive sub copies or are able to buy singles. According to a story in paidContent.org, the magazine's "soft launch" is also offering a digital-only subscription for $39.95 (slightly more that the best price available for a print sub).

The new digital edition is completely searchable, pages and articles can be printed and subscribers get full acess to the complete New Yorker archives, going back to 1925.

*This is of particular note to single copy New Yorker buyers in Canada, who have recently complained that issues arrive on newsstands up to a week after publication.
