I was made aware of this from a World Wildlife Foundation newsletter from last month. The fall issue of Green Living Magazine is also the first online version. It comes instructions for the less technically-inclined but basically click on the arrows at top left to flip pages, and on the pages themsleves in order to make them large enough to read.
I recall reading an interview with Marvel Comics founder Stan Lee around the time the first Spider-Man movie came out in which he was asked whether he thought the internet would kill comic books. He thought it would not because people prefer to have something "in hand" to read; something they can take to another room in the house or carry with them while travelling.
I agree with him that reading a magazine online is hardly the same, but with laptops and blackberries becoming more and more common, perhaps paper versions have finally met their match. And for a magazine called "Green Living", going online would seem to make sense.
Just one more thing to get used to. ;-)
Edit: I subscribed for future issues, only to find out that the winter ecition is out already. Here it is.

As much as I like the idea of saving trees, I also like the act of flipping through a magazine (usually from back to front). I'm such a Neanderthal).
The fact that Tricia Helfer is on the cover wouldn't have anything to do with your promoting this magazine?????
