On: FreeBSD Journal announced

"The Journal will be a bi-monthly publication and will be available on the web or as an Android/iPhone/Kindle app."

Why make it an app? Making "app" magazines seems really dumb to me, when you could simply make it available in an open format like PDF or ePub or text.

I'm willing to bet it will be available in an open format "on the web".

The additional formats probably exist to serve a wider audience.

It would be nice if I could get it in TeX though.

[RexRollman → orik]

I think you are the first person I have ever seen say that. If I may ask, what benefits would having it TeX bring to you?

Not speaking for the GP of course, but I often like to see the Latex source of a well laid-out document. I learn from reading it as an example.
