Good news! Orson Scott Card’s InterGalactic Medicine Show is now available on the Kindle. I have a soft spot for IGSM. Not only do they publish very good science fiction and fantasy, but they also published my first pro science fiction story, “When I Kissed the Learned Astronomer” back in July 2007. If you’ve never seen the magazine, I urge you to check it out.

It’s official: I want an iPad
When iPad’s first came out, I didn’t see a compelling reason to get one. After all, I have an iMac and a MacBook and an iPhone, to say nothing of a Kindle, and those seem to do well to make up for any lack I might experience. But in the back of my mind, I always told myself that if New Scientist ever became available on the iPad, that would push me over.
Well, I saw in a recent issue of New Scientist that it was now available on the iPad through Zinio app.
Scientific American has a digital edition, and I already subscribe to Analog and Asimov’s on the Kindle (and the print editions, as well). With New Scientist available on the iPad, I could read all of my subscriptions in electronic format on a single device. (My subscriptions to InterGalactic Medicine Show and Apex Magazine are already electronic.)
Yes, you can get New Scientist on the iPhone through Zinio but the screen size simply doesn’t do it justice. And besides, the fact is it makes a good excuse to get an iPad.
I don’t think I’ll be getting one anytime soon, but it’s nice to know that when I’m ready to get one, it will aid in my efforts to go paperless.
InterGalactic Medicine Show, Issue #20 is online
For those who enjoy good science fiction and fantasy, Orson Scott Card’s InterGalactic Medicine Show, issue #20 is online today. I have a soft spot in my heart for this gem of a magazine since they published my first story, “When I Kissed the Learned Astronomer” way back in issue #5.
In particular, Id’ call your attention to Erin Cashier‘s story, “Beneath the Shadow of the Dragon” (which is also available in audio form).
Also, Issue 11 is currently free to read through the end of the year. And if you like what you read, consider subscribing to the magazine.
