The last time we addressed you was to announce that The New Yorker would be available on the iPad—every Monday, wherever you happened to be. The reaction to our iPad app was instructive. Readers generally found it easy to use and beautiful to look at; they were delighted to know that they could get the magazine instantly, without thought to distance.

They were less delighted about one important point: they wanted to subscribe to the magazine on the iPad or to get access to their subscription if they had one already; until now, the only way to read the magazine on the iPad was to buy single issues, at single-issue prices.

As of this morning, that is changing. We can now offer subscriptions on the iPad, and we can give our U.S. and Canadian print subscribers access to iPad issues at no additional cost. Before long, we hope to be able to give the same access to international subscribers beyond Canada and to existing digital-only subscribers.

This week’s issue features Steve Coll, Lawrence Wright, Dexter Filkins, Eliza Griswold, and David Remnick writing about the end of the bin Laden era from multiple angles, while Malcolm Gladwell, John Seabrook, and Anthony Lane write about some of the most interesting innovators in America. Joan Acocella, Joyce Carol Oates, Judith Thurman, and Sasha Frere-Jones, among others, contribute this week’s cultural criticism.

iPad readers will discover some extras: bonus cartoons from our archives; a slide show tracing the evolution of a millisecond in a Pixar film; the title story of Margaret Drabble’s book of short fiction; poets reading from their work; portfolios of photographs from Afghanistan and Pakistan, and of the big Alexander McQueen show at the Metropolitan Museum.

In addition to putting out the magazine, the heart of our efforts, we are working on improving the experience of reading The New Yorker on the iPad. We’re sure you will tell us about whatever kinks there may be, and we’ll do everything we can to work them out. We’re also working to bring The New Yorker to other devices.

You can download the app and subscribe or authenticate your subscription or buy single issues of the magazine with ease—all at the iTunes store.
