1) How is the Reader's Digest Digital version different from the regular printed edition?
The Digital version is an exact digital replica of the print version, but it offers you some important advantages, including:
- Automatic delivery of every issue directly to your computer via the Internet
- Timesaving search tools and links in the table of contents that quickly take you right to the articles, features, and sections that are most important to you
- Quick hyperlinks to content on the Web, to advertisers’ sites, and to other articles in the issue
- Convenient features that allow you to do advanced searches, make highlights and annotations on articles, and zoom in on desired areas
- Efficient storage of your archived issues on your PC or Mac for access at any time
Plus, you'll receive your digital edition as soon as it's available — days before regular mail delivery.
2) Does the digital version contain everything in the print edition: articles, photos, advertising?
Yes. It's exactly the same. You won't miss a single article, puzzle, joke, cartoon, photo or advertisement.
