That issue was my first intro to Wired when I spotted it on a coffee table and was intrigued by the Disneyland line. It was probably another year after that before I actually used the internet - after reading a few Wired magazines, I wasn't really sure what to expect...

Thanks! This is the perfect sort of longform article to save via Pocket/Instapaper and read later on my e-reader.

  One of my favourite Kobo features ;)

    Can you elaborate on the feature you're referencing? I'm currently looking at getting a new e-reader and am specifically debating between the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kobo Libra 2.

      Kobo has direct integration with Pocket, so as long as you sign into your Pocket account from your Kobo, you can download, read, or archive articles directly on the Kobo. You don't need to do the wonky workaround like emailing the Pocket article to your Kindle to get it to show up. See below: https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017763753-Use-the-Pocket-App-with-your-Kobo-eReader https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017763753-Use-the... Kobo also has first-class integration with Overdrive/Libby for borrowing digital library books.

I wanted to see the original magazine print, but surprisingly, I can't find a single download of any of the 1990s issues anywhere. Archive.org's earliest is from 2000 (below). Seems amazing no one has scanned and shared back issues. If anyone has a link, please share! https://archive.org/details/wired-2001_02/page/n65/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/wired-2001_02/page/n65/mode/2up
