Q: What software do I need to view this Sockupied eMag?
A: Sockupied requires a simple software application called Adobe® Air® that’s easy to use and can be installed on your computer for free. Sockupied Spring 2011 includes articles, videos, galleries, hyperlinks to inspiring and informative websites, and so much more. With just the click of your mouse, you can open and play videos, view slideshows, and easily navigate through the eMag.
Q: How is Sockupied different then the digital edition of Interweave Knits Magazine?
A:Sockupied is an entirely unique product, separate from Interweave Knits and Knitscene magazines. This eMag focuses solely on sock knitting. Unlike digital editions of Interweave Knits and Knitscene magazines, which are exact replications of the print editions, Sockupied was developed as a digital product so it can capitalize on all the benefits of digital media capabilities—including videos, slideshows, zoom options that enable you to see close-ups of knitted socks, patterns that can be downloaded and printed, abilities to hyperlink to websites, and more.
Q: Will Sockupied be available as a print magazine?
A: Sockupied was built as a digital product, therefore it will not be printed as a traditional magazine. However, we hope you take advantage of the many printable materials included in Sockupied.
Q: Is Sockupied available as a subscription?
A: Sockupied is considered a special digital publication and is not available for a subscription. Each Sockupied eMag is a single issue and available as a single download.
Q: Does Sockupied mean that Interweave Knits or Knitscene magazines will stop printing?
A: Absolutely not! Interweave Knits and Knitscene print and digital magazines are entirely separate offerings to the knitting craft world. Interweave Knits is still our flagship publication and we have exciting issues of this and other knitting magazines to come!

I really like this format, although it takes a bit of getting used to. (Click and scroll and mouseover and all sorts of interesting things happen.) I bought this specifically for the 3 wonderful calculators included, which I head about on ravelery.com, as I am new to socks and fairly new to knitting (1 year.) I do wish this was usable on an iPad, as, like others, I keep ebooks and even my patterns on my iPad (with the app called noterize so I can highlight where I left off and make notes.)
My only real complaint is the excessive amount of adverts. Three full page ads in a twenty-one page product I paid $15.00 for is excessive. If you exclude the "covers" it equals 36% adverts. Although I expect ads in a magazine, I do not expect them in an ebook/book. To be fair to you, this must have been an expensive product to develop and deploy. I know this falls somewhere between but still, three pages is too many. On the advert kudo side, I am happy you spell out on the page it is clearly labeled as an advert :)
**** Interweave Comment: Look for future issues of Sockupied to be available on your iPad. Other exciting changes to eMags are coming in 2012, so stay tuned. Thank you for your comments. ****
