i saw the newest issue at the airport and it looked like it said something about burmese punks but these article wasn't in my kindle version?
again, the article about the australian mining heiress this week is also very good - good mix of dry facts and juicy gossip

the sinkhole article isn't bad, and the one on trans kids made me tear up a bit.

burmese punks thing was just a couple of photos.
― mizzell, Thursday, 21 March 2013 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
Wish their photo features were longer. It's always 2-4 pictures.

Kelefa was AWOL for a while, good to see him back in action.
He wrote that article about scotch a few weeks back.

Zactly. There were several months missing, followed by a bunch of stuff: Kid Rock, scotch, evangelist, Dapper Dan. Looks like he didn't have anything in the magazine between last May and November before that.

Ppl who read this on Fancy Kindle (Fire?) and/or Nooks: do you get photos and/or comics? I assume you get those on the iPad app?
I like reading the plain text version on my Not Fancy Kindle (NotFire), but wish I had the funnies :(
― quincie, Saturday, 23 March 2013 01:23 (eleven years ago) link
ipad yes
― lag∞n, Saturday, 23 March 2013 01:24 (eleven years ago) link
I can almost justify buying an ipad for an improved digital NYer experience, but not quite.
― quincie, Saturday, 23 March 2013 01:25 (eleven years ago) link
kindle version has the comics, they're just all at the end for some reason
― congratulations (n/a), Saturday, 23 March 2013 01:26 (eleven years ago) link
regular non-fancy Kindle? How did I miss that?
― quincie, Saturday, 23 March 2013 01:32 (eleven years ago) link
because they're past the letters and contributor profiles and everything, and they're alone on the second page of the contents
― congratulations (n/a), Saturday, 23 March 2013 01:36 (eleven years ago) link
Oh sweet I found them, thanks! I'm on my first Kindle issue and hadn't messed with the content navigation.
― quincie, Saturday, 23 March 2013 01:49 (eleven years ago) link
at least on the Kindle I could adjust the test size. the ipad ap is some magnifying glass needing shit.

Our FutureThe globe is sadly groaning with debt, poverty and strifeAnd billions now are pleading to enjoy a better lifeTheir hope lies with resources buried deep within the earthAnd the enterprise and capital which give each project worthIs our future threatened with massive debts run up by political hacksWho dig themselves out by unleashing rampant taxThe end result is sending Australian investment, growth and jobs offshoreThis type of direction is harmful to our coreSome envious unthinking people have been connedTo think prosperity is created by waving a magic wandThrough such unfortunate ignorance, too much abuse is hurledAgainst miners, workers and related industries who strive to build the worldDevelop North Australia, embrace multiculturalism and welcome short term foreign workers to our shoresTo benefit from the export of our minerals and oresThe world's poor need our resources: do not leave them to their fateOur nation needs special economic zones and wiser government, before it is too late.

OK I'm like the most stupid NYer subscriber I think? Soooooo like some articles are available at nyer.com for free? 'Cause I like reading that format sooooooo much better than the tiny-magazine-digitized-from-print format. Can I get full issues in that free-on-nyerdotcom somehow?
Why am I having so much trouble with these, geez.
