As the interest in e-readers is finally starting to emerge, UK mag publisher Haymarket has unveiled an e-paper version of Autosport in a bid to get more overseas subscribers. It will also be available free to all current print subs through its Autosport.com site. The launch of the e-paper version of the mag also comes as Autosport.com’s premium subscriptions quadrupled over the same period last year.
Since Autosport magazine is published in the UK, it often takes a few days to arrive in overseas’ subscribers’ mailboxes. The digital version will, naturally, be available to readers even before the latest issue first hits newsstands. While the e-paper version is a free bonus to current print subs, digital-only subs will have to pay $182.00 (£112.00) for its 51 issues throughout the year. There is currently no monthly tier available. In contrast, a subscription to “Autosport.com plus” costs $8.60 (£5.50) for a month’s access or $74.00 (£46.00) for a year.
Haymarket is currently offering a free sample of the digital issue here. More details in the release as well.
