The scans which were on IA were, frankly, crap. Terrible resolution, grainy quality, tons of artifacts - and the text varied from "mostly readable" to "lolwhutbbq"... $2.99 isn't a bad price - but I do wonder if you can get it as an unencumbered, non-DRM format (or at least a PDF). Perhaps I'll buy one of the issues, and see what you get. I've been (slowly) building a physical collection of the issues; I've managed to get the first couple of years (plus the premier issue). It's really an amazing magazine - it's too bad that it ceased being published. In a way, though, we are living in the present of the future Omni hinted at. Not the same future, not the best future, but an amalgamation of it - bits and pieces. So perhaps such a magazine doesn't fit with our current situation (that isn't to say a future publication couldn't do the same later, though).
