First of all, I’m disappointed that greed has gotten the better of you. Issue one to eight was released free of charge, and should stay free.

I’m sorry I disappointed you, although I can pretty much say the comment on greed is a pretty cheap shot.

  
Secondly, I don’t really mind paying for the following issues. That is to say, a few dollars for the pdf-version is ok, 32 dollars + 36 dollars shipping for the printed version is way too much.

That’s actually 34 dollars, and I agree it IS high. And I am working on some solutions.

  
Thirdly, and most importantly, there’s nothing trustworthy about the site. I get certificate errors causing IE to block parts of the site and I simply can’t understand why you need my address and phone number before letting me download a free preview of issue nine. And worse of all, I can’t even download it after entering those details. I’m certainly not entering my credit card details into that system…

I don’t have certificate problems, but I am using Safari and or Firefox. And you should have gotten a link to download after you filled out the info. I will contact the publisher about this.

The info is useful for one reason - it helps us figure out where people are who are interested in the Journal. The phone number can be substituted, but I and the publisher need this info to figure out how to reach people.
