My mail has been spotty due to Hurricane Sandy so I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there was an issue of EW between the one with James Bond on the cover and the one with Star Wars on the cover. Presumably their production was disrupted too so I am not sure if I missed one in between or there were just was no issues. Thanks. ---

Thanks. It didn’t occur to me their site would have an issue by issue archive like that. ---

Also, for any subscribers who own an iPad, Kindle Fire, etc., EW has a great tablet version. I hardly touch my print copies anymore. ---

Presumably their production was disrupted too so I am not sure if I missed one in between or there were just was no issues. Thanks. Just as a point of reference, I too did not receive the “Holiday Movie Preview” issue in the mail. I figured it was due to the effects of the storm as well (I’m also in New Jersey). But due to this: > [@Tangent](#): > > Also, for any subscribers who own an iPad, Kindle Fire, etc., EW has a great tablet version. I hardly touch my print copies anymore. I didn’t care. Just kind of felt bad I didn’t have the issue to bring over to my Mom’s, where my Mom and sister get more use out of the dead-tree version. ---

Just another note about the tablet edition. It often includes extras that aren’t in the print version, like additional pics from photoshoots, and all variant covers. Plus links to movie trailers, song samples, book pages on Amazon,etc. ---

Thanks for info on the app. I will have to look into it. As it happens my missing issue turned up in today’s mail. Better late than never I suppose 🙂 ---

> [@Quimby](#): > > As it happens my missing issue turned up in today’s mail. Better late than never I suppose 🙂 I was just coming here to say the same thing. Guess they sent out issues they knew were delayed to certain areas. Oddly enough, I have not yet received this week’s issue (which usually comes on Thursdays, so Thanksgiving probably affected that schedule). ---

I guess Thursday delivery is an east coast thing - mine always comes on Friday. Yesterday was really rainy and I never got the mail. Maybe I’ll get a surprise! ---

> [@singular1](#): > > I guess Thursday delivery is an east coast thing - mine always comes on Friday. Yesterday was really rainy and I never got the mail. Maybe I’ll get a surprise! For many many years I would get it on Fridays or Saturdays but for the last couple of years I have pretty consistently got them on Thursdays.
