KartSport Magazine formally announced today that it will join the future of global publishing by becoming an all-digital magazine. Along with that news comes the excitement that KartSport will once again be a monthly publication, and that anyone with an internet connection will get to read each and every issue.
What exactly is a monthly digital publication? Much more than just a website, an “Active Magazine” is what happens when you combine the format of a print magazine with the accessibility of the world wide web. Utilizing the cutting edge page-turning technology pioneered by Olive Software in conjunction with ESPN The Magazine, KartSport joins the thousands of publishers who are forsaking their print editions and going entirely digital. Active Magazines also benefit from being able to embed Flash animation and web-sized videos, providing some awesome opportunities for both advertisers and editorial content.
The two comments heard most frequently from KartSport readers in the past year have been: we love the product, we just want more of it! So, with a digital publication, certain goals were now attainable, mainly: a return to a monthly publication, maintain the creativity, edginess, and entertaining style that has become the KartSport style, and make the magazine accessible to everyone. And yes, you can still print out hard copies of your favorite articles, or download the issue to your laptop and read it on the plane.
The first digital version of KartSport Magazine has now been unveiled! PLEASE be sure to have your latest Flash plugin (AVAILABLE HERE) before checking out these samples.
