[NSRCA-discussion] Electronic KFactor Question

[Glen Watson]

Both if doable...while on the road traveling having the option to download
using a slow connection (cell less than 4g for example) would be nice.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Electronic KFactor Question


Hi all,

I have a question for you if you download the electronic KFactor.  The way I
publish the electronic version is through Adobe InDesign and turn it in to a
pdf.  I can make the issue high quality so that you can zoom in and the
pictures are nice and clear even at 400%.  The problem, of course, is that
with higher quality comes much higher file size.  I know some of you view
the issue on your iPad or smartphone and some may have a slower internet
connection.  The difference between the "regular" version (typically 5MB)
and a high definition copy (could be 35MB) is substantial.  What I'd like to
know is if the high quality version is important to you.  I have the October
issue online now.  There is the "normal" version that I've been making for
some time now (5MB).  I have placed a high quality version online as well
for you but I"m not sure if it's feasible to produce both every month
(specifically for disk space on our server).  **MAKE SURE you know what
version you are downloading.  Remember R.T.F.S. (Read the flipping screen).
I would like to know what our membership likes/wants especially since Jan is
now producing the electronic issue in full color.  I will also work with
Derek to find out if we are on a specified disk size or have "unlimited"
disk space through our hosting provider.  If we are unlimited and enough
folks want it, I can always just produce both and let y'all choose which one
you want.

Thanks in advance for letting me know,
Scott
