This is absolutely fantastic news! I'm especially excited about the Kindle format. We moved to a new house in 2020 and I had so many boxes of magazines that I didn't know what to do with them. With the digital versions, there's no limit to how many I can have, read, and keep!

i don't use kindle but would be interested to know if content can be search on it. I purchse the The British Aviation in the Great War journal as a pdf and that can be searched, so no need for a separate index. Is a PDF more flexible than what is offered via Kindle?

Kindle pricing

Hello,
The price per volume was given as US$9.99 but now seems to be mostly US$11.49 or thereabouts.
Is this something to do with the Tariff regime just introduced by the Orange Person?
I am in New Zealand - would I be charged the 9.99, 11.49 or something else?
Cheers,
Errol

The exchange rate between the US currency and the rest of the world is in flux right now due to the financial situation

Seems odd - a USA product in US $9.99 should still be shown in US$9.99. It is the equivalent in another country's currency that would undergo change, not the US$?

Hi Errol,
You’re absolutely right to question the pricing inconsistency. If the original base price of the digital volume is listed as US$9.99, then in theory it should consistently appear as US$9.99 when denominated in USD, regardless of your location.

However, some platforms like Amazon apply regional pricing policies that can automatically adjust what you see based on your geographic location—even if the currency is still displayed as USD. These adjustments can factor in exchange rate buffering, taxes, or localized distribution costs, which might explain why you’re seeing US$11.49 instead.

As a workaround, you might try visiting the Amazon.com store via a U.S.-based VPN, which can sometimes display the original U.S. pricing without regional markups. If you’re comfortable using a VPN, set your location to the United States, clear your browser cache, and then revisit the product page.

Hope this helps clarify what’s likely happening on the backend.

Cheers,
CjB
