I just got an e-reader (nook color) and thought I'd try TGQ (since I move around a lot, I really wouldn't want the paper versions, but e-copies are great)

anyway, the first five issues were fine - the last three seemed to be formatted differently, two pages rendered as one, which meant it was the wrong ratio/orientation for the screen, and thus impossible to read.

just a heads up.

also, it would be nice for people just discovering the site to have a .zip of all the PDFs.

It's been bothering me as well, but we didn't have a very good version control system and I think the only instances of the final inDesign files live on Matt's desktop of his old computer.

Basically, it doesn't look like this will happen.

you can try reformatting the pdfs using calibre (save them as a mobi format, which has worked for a few pdf files i've converted for kindle) but the facing pages setup is unchangeable sans the original work files, unfortunately.
