A little project I’ve given myself is to create an archive of digital magazines, which will be accessible from within the Home Cinema Choice website. These will comprise specials we’ve done, like Living with home cinema (browse above), plus samplers and ultimately entirely new, digital editions. The issue above was created using the Issuu platform, a free pdf-to-flash application that I think works supremely well. To take a browse through the hundreds of free magazines now available in this format, visit the virtual bookshelves at issuu.com.
I also have a half-baked idea to compile a retro publication featuring the writings of Bob Tomalski. Bob was a hugely influential UK tech journalist with an infectious enthusiasm for AV and an ability to craft stories in a way alien to most contemporary media commentators. Issuu seems a great way to give his archive some visibility.

Thanks, Steve!
I’m really happy you found use for Issuu.
I’m looking forward to seeing your archive on http://www.homecinemachoice.com (you should update link above) – it looks very promising indeed: http://issuu.com/homecinemachoice
Martin, Issuu

Cool idea.
Will they be available for subscribers only or open to everyone?
Thanks,
Otto

This sounds like a great idea – some of the specials you’ve done have been great and really help get newbies to realise the benefits of home cinema and what they’re missing!
It would also be good to keep a permanent archive of Bob’s work. I remember listening to him on the radio years ago and it would be great to re-read some of his articles.
