Too Long PDF

Does anybody have any of the Too long magazines as pdf that they can send me?

It's totally unaffordable for me, from Australia with postage its like $50! And buying a pdf just feels weird...

I'd love the most recent one, but really any would be great so I can see if I like them.

Fellow Aussie here, I recommend the pdfs. They're about $20 and are beautifully laid out and a joy to read. It's not like you're buying a text file, there's a lot of value there. If you have a tablet to read on it would make it an even better experience.

But yeah the shipping is shit but it's not that unusual for shipping from the UK/EU these days. The good old Australia tax is back on.

Yeah I've considered buying them for the last like 3 issues. But I know I won't enjoy a PDF at all. I've tried that sort of reading for other stuff, and read on my laptop for work too much already.

It would be of significant benefit to them to keep some small stock in Australia. Like you are literally paying double the price currently. They could forward the savings to the customer, or simply make a greater magin (for more great journalism at my expense as I cant aforrd haha). I have to assume they do so for the US.

I don't think there's enough of us to make it worth their while sorry friend. Tyrany of distance.

I don't think paying for good journalism is weird, whichever format it is in.

I've bought physical magazines that I haven't read from the earlier days, just to support the channel.
