You'll have the option to get the most current issue or to start it on the next release.
How a subscription works is when the book is released. You'll get a pdf of that book when your book is shipped. Also this is when you'll get charged as well for the book. After that you just wait till the next month for the anther book, till you decide to cancel.
You'll have to purchase the previous books like normal thou.

Though you get a discount on previous books if you have the Pathfinder Advantage
It'd be a nice feature if, when you subscribed in the middle of an AP, you could get a bundle of the issues and PDFs you missed, as long as you paid for them all at once. After all, who wants half an AP? And it would be a bit discouraging to hear about a great AP too late to get in at the beginning.
I'm sure there are problems with this idea, such as people waiting until the 6th issue to subscribe and then immediately cancelling, or they'd have it in place already, though.

You've answered your own question right there. Our goal with the subscriptions is to encourage continuous and predictable sales of the books. We're not coy about this goal, because it is the core of our business model which allows us to keep producing the books we love.
It also means that we are extremely keen to avoid any change which may devalue the incentives in place to encourage continuous subscriptions (such as package deals). We do explore these options, but they always have (and probably always will) fail on the risk vs reward analysis.
Frank, honest answers, on the other hand, have always won out on the risk vs reward analysis. :)
Thanks,
