The decision concerning the cover of a
digital edition for a print
magazine publisher can be varied: from simply reproducing the print
magazine cover (often with the
scan code remaining visible), to a complete redesign.
While I love my own local indie, three blocks from my house, for
scanning the
magazine rack or the new titles, and certainly for gift buying, most of what I buy for myself is
digital, backlist, non-mainstream, or OOP.
