For me, free access to previous issues is a deal-breaker. What would stop someone from waiting a few months after many articles have been released, signing up, and then receiving many months worth of articles at the price of only one? The lost revenue there is killer.

Granted, this might be an edge case but is still cause for concern.

Hmmm. Another way to see it would be that having a few months of issues might be a plus and incentive for a person to subscribe, which he might not have done otherwise. I'm not sure what kind of magazine you are planning to release, but mostly when I buy magazines, I'm not that interested in the old issues.

Hit me with an email - Holger@Uninkd.com - if you are planning to release a magazine, but this is a deal breaker.
