That's a pretty encouraging start - I was going to subscribe but the rate seems exorbitant. Is this just a symptom of small-scale publishing, of crowdfunding, a lack of advertising or all of the above?
Yearly subscriptions start from £38 (digital), which we think is pretty good considering how much we pack into each issue (take a look here for the contents list of issue 3: http://www.linuxvoice.com/issue-3-is-out/).
Print subs are obviously more expensive, mostly due to the cost of postage.
I had a quick flick through to the third issue to get a rough estimate of how many pages of ads there were and...erm, I couldn't find any except an EFF ad on the inside cover. I don't know if that means they're struggling to find advertisers until they're more established but frankly I'm happy to pay a bit more to have more content pages, given the choice.
