WINTER ISSUE OF 2600 RELEASED
The brand new Winter issue of 2600 is now officially out in all sorts of different places and versions. Hopefully you won't have much trouble finding us in bookstores. You may have more of a challenge finding bookstores in the first place. While we're still getting over the loss of Borders, you should be able to easily find us in every Barnes and Noble and other chains, along with a whole bunch of independent bookstores and newsstands. If you're a subscriber, an issue may have already arrived at your home, office, or school. If you're more of the electronic bent, you will have already received the Winter issue if you have a Kindle subscription. You can also get a Kindle subscription in the U.K. The Kindle Publications subscription is available for Kindles,
Android, and iOS devices. Issues are also available individually in the subscription section. For those of you using Mac and PC devices, individual issues are available in the standalone Kindle Book format. You can also get this version in U.K., France, Spain, Italy, and Germany. We also have an epub version available for the Nook or almost every other
ereader. And we intend to keep adding more, as long as there is a demand.

HOPE NUMBER NINE PREREGISTRATION ONLINE
We have officially opened up preregistration for the latest Hackers On Planet Earth conference: HOPE Number Nine, which will be taking place at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City from July 13th to July 15th, 2012. Just click here to begin the process. These tickets are still priced well below what's charged at the door, a savings of nearly 20 percent. But we believe that the full price is still an incredible bargain, considering all of the talks and fun that are found at a typical HOPE conference.

SPRING ISSUE OF 2600 RELEASED
The Spring issue of 2600 has been officially released in digital and paper versions worldwide. If you're a subscriber, you likely already have gotten the Spring issue delivered to you. If not, it should be in your hands really soon. For those of you who get 2600 at bookstores or newsstands, you can start planning your trip to those places now, as we believe the issues are already on the stands. For those of you in the electronic world, your issues will be ready in a matter of seconds, or even less if you've got a Kindle subscription, as your copy will have already been magically beamed to your Kindle device.
We're still trying to get on the Barnes and Noble subscription list, but until that happens, you can pick up individual issues on their site.
