<i>I told HP's Andrew Bolwell that what I really wanted were magazines priced like iPhone apps. Give me really good $2 magazines and I'll buy them all day long. A $10 magazine on the iPad? Probably not.</i><p>It's very hard for me to understand this. If you enjoy the magazine, if it's "really good" why wouldn't you pay more than $2? At what point does the cannibalization of content stop? If it's convenient to use an iPad or a Kindle to get your magazine, shouldn't that be enough at the normal price point? Why is further incentive necessary? I can understand a slight discount due to publishing savings, but from $10 to $2? Come on.

Am I missing something? The magazine can now be downloaded onto An iPad anywhere in the world but this was always the case.<p>If you check MagCloud (<a href="http://magcloud.com/help/ShippingAndOrdering" rel="nofollow">http://magcloud.com/help/ShippingAndOrdering</a>) it is indeed the case that single orders can now be shipped overseas (with multiple to come) but I cannot see mention of that in the article.

I'm sorry, I don't get it: how? Do I download an app? Do I buy the pdf &#38; manually transfer it to my iPad?
