... I don't know about any. I use Instapaper when I want to read something offline; I read all the way through Transcriptase that way. Tor offers *books* for pdf download, which is not the same thing.

Shimmer has downloadable pdfs, as does Ideomancer.

IIRC, OG’s Speculative Fiction is in PDF format so downloadable.

Not aware of downloadable content for Strange Horizons, or Fantasy, or Beneath Ceaseless Skies, or Abyss & Apex.

I think Black Gate released a PDF copy of issue 12 but I don’t think that’s planned as a regular feature (they are print, not on-line, normally).

I’m pretty sure that it’s either/or. The online magazine is either web only, or downloadable only, or the online content differs from the downloadable content. That doesn’t seem to be exactly what you’re asking, though. Off the bat, there’s IGMS, GUD, and Shiny.

I tend to just copy-and-paste web content, print, or save HTML files and read them on my Eee.

Free or paid?
