Pocket PC magazine's new Digital Edition, based on Zinio(tm) and Adobe(tm) technology, provides an exact digital replica of the print version of the magazine. The pages even flip! The Digital Edition is read on a desktop or notebook PC, providing a two-page view. With one click, a page enlarges. Easy access to articles is provided by a "Contents" key, which instantly opens the "Table of Contents" page. Additionally, "hot links" within the pages will take you to other pages within the magazine, or to Web sites on the Internet. You can highlight and annotate text for later reference. Also included is a handy search feature for locating those elusive and hard to find articles quickly.

Small download - Send to friends:
The full Digital Edition of the magazine resides on your desktop or notebook PC and is less than a 9 MB download. Overseas subscribers can avoid the expensive shipping charges of the Print Edition. The full Digital Edition can be sent to friends while keeping your copy! When it is, all highlighted text and annotations, along with a personalized message, are sent with it.
