The problem with Zinio is that they use their own format, and with Interweave
Press publications it’s hit-and-miss as to whether or not you can easily
print pages or save an archive PDF file. Several years ago Zinio had an issue
with their server where magazines couldn’t be accessed for something like
two weeks, and unless you had them downloaded locally you couldn’t get at
them. As a result, I don’t completely trust Zinio. Having said that, I do
have to admit that my PieceWork subscription is through Zinio (the
subscription price is often lower through Zinio than directly from
Interweave). I end having to go through some rather convoluted processes to
save the files from the Zinio Reader to a standard PDF so that I can archive
them and access the files from outside of the Zinio reader application.  Other
publications (Handwoven and Spin-Off, in particular) have things set in a way
that it takes a slightly different process to save them from Zinio. Why this
can’t be standard even within one publisher’s offerings is something I
simply don’t understand. So yeah- Zinio is a really convenient way of
accessing digital magazines, but like Amazon’s Kindle or Barnes and
Noble’s nook formats, they really want to lock you into their apps/devices
for accessing the content. When it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t, it
can quickly become frustrating.

I get mine as an eMagazine borrowed from my locla library through 
Zinnio. I know that you can buy electronic copies through Zinnio if you 
have an account.

If the print copies of the issue are not available, Interweave does have
digital versions of their publications. Here’s the direct link to the
specific issue Jeri is referring to…

https://www.interweave.com/store/piecework-july-august-2017-digital-edition


PieceWork is the one needlework publication that I have EVERY issue of. I
started my subscription with the first issue, and switched to digital as soon
as they made that option available. I even bought the entire back library in
digital version so that I could have an archive on my hard drive while
clearing out the print copies from my workroom. Most of the time I read it on
my iPad, but if I need to print out pages (for instance if there’s a chart
or pattern that I want to stick in my workbag), I print out just the pages
needed and don’t feel bad about making notes on them (I’m one of those who
can’t bring myself to write in books).
