High Times goes digital

Our pals at High Times are about to start distributing their magazine in a digital-only format, via Zinio - placing them alongside such stalwarts as Popular Mechanics, Business Week, PC World, and of course, Playboy. The pitch is clever ("The World’s Greenest Magazine Just Got Greener"), and Zinio's service generally gets good reviews for what it is. You're still paying for a subscription, but there's something to be said for saving a tree. (Something like: "Gee, we're really just saving that tree for later, when some other magazine can come along and chop it down.") At any rate, there's a free preview issue available for your perusal.
