Field notes

Reetroz organizes its material by magazine, year, issue, and four historical eras rather than presenting a file dump. The homepage identifies individual issues with dates and page counts, including a November 1992 issue shown at 196 pages, and says pages are OCR-processed for cross-archive searches. It also describes responsive reading modes, including two-page desktop spreads, single-page mobile views, deep zoom, and saved position.
