CERAKANVAS - Green from the beginning . . .




What you are looking at are 2 different ways that information is sent to readers. The one on the left is the new Apple iReader (new) and the one on the right is the Amazon Kindle (In it's 2nd Gen). Essentially these are devices that you can get books and magazines on. Very shortly CERAKANVAS will be available on one of these 2 formats, and eventually both of them. Our e-publishing house is in the process of adding this as a new option.
While as CERAKANVAS will always remain FREE at www.cerakanvas.com those who want to access the magazine through this format may have to pay a usage fee directly to the publisher. It is a small fee, but we wanted to make sure you understood we are generating it, and the primary way to view will still be at the CERAKANVAS site.
One very exciting aspect to all of this is that this process as well as our e-zine site is very "GREEN" . No paper is used to generate the magazine.
1. Submissions are electronically transmitted as documents over the web.
2. Pieces are photographed by the artists and jpegs are sent via Internet, this also saves in gas consumption and the size of our carbon footprint as we do not have to transport pieces back and forth for photographing.
3. Our magazine does not end up in landfills (of course we doubt that it would anyway)
4. Our staff all work out of their homes thus eliminating millions of miles of automobile travel which creates a huge impact on the environment.
We hope you get the picture. CERAKANVAS is very green.
We have no control over the format first picked by our e-publisher, but if you have a preference please post it in a comment.
