Given this success H3, with sponsorship from Lexus, has expanded its free digital magazines to include their already established titles of decline and ROAD. After only six weeks of worldwide access in iTunes and the Android Market of all current and back issues of decline, ROAD and tri magazines, H3 Publications has reached a milestone of over one million issue downloads.

H3 partnered with digital edition and app developer BlueToad, Inc. "BlueToad offered us the ability to build digital distribution into our brands easily and affordably. Using their Thermostats™ analytics package, we were able to show Lexus the volume of viewers we could attract for their brand. That inevitably proved to them the value of working with H3," said Dave House, owner of H3 Publications.

Apps for H3 publications can all be found FREE in the App store for iPad and iPhone and in the Android Market for Android devices.
