Abstract :
It is surprising that we are already in our second year of electronic delivery. Our first trial issue was in September 2010, and it became a subscription option at the beginning of this year. The magazine has a readership of 7,943 members and affiliates (until 30 June), and of those about 30% have opted to take the magazine in only electronic form. From the personal comments at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation and the e-mails I received, it seems that most people enjoy this form of delivery.
