Today, 3rd May 2013, is the international Day Against DRM.

DRM stands for “digital rights management”, or in plain English, copy protection. It’s a way for companies who sell digital products (music, movies, ebooks, etc) to make it harder for the customer to make copies of the work.

But DRM also makes it harder to enjoy the work you have purchased. I’ve personally had a computer die because of the DRM on the music CD I had bought (this was in 2003). And there are countless stories of people losing access to their once purchased files.

Therefore, the downloads at I Love Mags have never had DRM and never will. They are pure, regular PDF or EPUB files.

To celebrate Day Against DRM 2013, we offer a 20 percent discount on all downloads. 

Use this coupon code:

drmfree

Valid throughout the weekend, and not in combination with other coupons.

Enjoy!

PS: Here’s a list of all available downloads at I Love Mags!

As of today, we accept payment in bitcoins. The price in bitcoins will be automatically calculated upon checkout – that’s where you can choose bitcoins as payment option.

Keep in mind this payment option is still beta; we have yet to accept our first bitcoins. Why don’t you be the first to try it?

Update 31 January 2013: This sale is over. The coupon code does not work. But you can still purchase all our fabulous products to regular price – print items are shipped the same day, downloads are available immediately upon payment.

Dear I Love Mags customer – we’re offering a 20 percent discount on everything in our shop, starting today. Simply use coupon code BBN13X when checking out. The code is valid for both downloads and print products – but for a short time only. Enjoy!

Christmas is coming up, and we will have some time off. If you place an order for a print product, it will be shipped to you on the 21 January 2013. Downloads are not affected – they’re always available the moment you make the purchase!

Merry Christmas everyone, and all the best for 2013!

Dear I Love Mags visitor or customer:

After more than 4 years of running our shop in the same way, we’ve finally decided to not only give it a facelift, but to rebuild it from scratch. We’ve thrown out the old and heavily modded version of osCommerce that was the base for the shop, and replaced it with a smooth WordPress installation topped with WooCommerce.

There are many advantages with this change; the biggest one is probably that you don’t have to register in order to shop.

All in all, everything should basically work as before. We sell the same great books and magazines, and we offer the same simple credit card payments.

But expect a few rocky days or weeks. We haven’t even had time to add all the products yet. There will probably be quite a few bugs to fix, and we will add extra features and payment options as the work progresses.

But at least, the shop is there now – enjoy!
