One thing that would make me MUCH more likely to get future issues if I could have them downloaded automatically. Podcast downloaders like Itunes can automatically download pdfs. For example Podcast User Magazine ( http://www.podcastusermagazine.com/oldsite.html ) had a feed ( http://feeds.feedburner.com/podcastusermag ) that you could put into Itunes and any time a new pdf was posted my Itunes would collect it when it was downloading my fav podcasts. I think all you'd have to do is change your feed to show the full feed rather than a summary and then have a direct link to the pdf in a post. I could then put your feed into Itunes and then when it detects a pdf it would suck it down. Hi

A few small things that I did notice while going through the PDF: It's a lot of the same. A downside to a magazine vs. a blog is that it has the readers expect more than just a compilation of (rather nicely) formated blog posts. Maybe try adding product reviews, etc. This is the first edition so there isn't much yet, but a Q&A is always good, maybe reward the best Q with a free something.. etc Again, I really did enjoy the read, just trying to pitch in :) I really like the idea of a magazine that compiles the existing guru’s on productivity rather than yet another blog, if it works out, this could be the one stop place to go.
