The first thing you’ll notice is that the typeface will be much larger — increasing from 9 pt. to 14 pt. We have tested this larger type size on a number of readers and all agree that this change makes reading the digital magazine on a computer screen a much more pleasurable experience. If you haven’t yet tried our digital edition now’s the time! Just go to BoatUS.com/magazine and check out this free new benefit from BoatU.S. Why are we encouraging BoatU.S. Magazine readers to test-drive the digital edition? First, many of the feature stories in our digital edition contain embedded videos that add a whole new dimension to the reading experience. Second, hyperlinks are just a click away, connecting you to web sites that provide additional information. Third, you can keyword search and access archived back issues. Another reason BoatU.S. Magazine readers like the digital edition is that they want to do something for the environment. By electing to receive just the digital edition, thousands of BoatU.S. members have saved boatloads of trees from being cut down. If you wish, we would be happy to send you our digital magazine and stop mailing you a printed version. To do so just go to www.BoatUS.com/magazineoptout and type in your last name and member number. We’ll handle all the rest. Whatever you decide, our plan is to grow the BoatU.S. Magazine digital edition and make it a much richer and more rewarding reader experience.
