In my recent perzine, I opined that PDFzines were an evolutionary dead end. I pointed out that SF fanzines seemed to be the only place where zine-makers were clinging to the faux-paper of PDF. Well, I've just stumbled on pdf-mags.com, "Your PDF-Mag's Magazine":

You are welcome, dear PDF-mag lover.
Here you find links and soon much more information about free PDF mag's from all over the world with main focus on art, design, illustration and life. We get much response furthermore and have to check and categorize all these great links. Our website is under permanent 'de'-construction. One of the the next 'features' are real categories, so please come back and stay...

If the English seems a little off, perhaps this explains it:

IMPRINT
pdf-mags.com is published by:
Format Verlag
Rainer Berg
Hinterstr. 73
57072 Siegen
Germany

It makes sense that the focus would be art, design, and illustration, since PDF allows more control of design features than HTML does. The reference to 'de'-construction marks them as art school students, doesn't it? So is pdf-mag.com the equivalent of efanzines.com for the art and design crowd?
