Zinio and the Digital Magazines revolution »
Hi, after reviewing the site of the excellent UK based Computer Arts Magazine, I found Zinio.
Zinio sells subscriptions to many magazines in digital format using DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology from Adobe and offers great prices on their magazines, most of them cost less than their paperback editions.
You will find magazines such as eWeek, PC Magazine, Cosmogirl, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Business 2.0, and many more.
There are many free samples so that you can try the technology.
I recommend a big screen, I’ve got a 17″ screen and feel is not enough to experience the magazines.
The quality of the digital issues is amazing, you get a very magazine-sque feeling, specially when turning the pages. The subscription coupons are great, with the only difference they don’t fall.
Zinio magazines can also be downloaded to Tablet PC, unfortunately I don’t have one but would like to know if some of you have tried it.
One last thing: If you go to Zinio home page, you will be able to fill a survey and win yearly subscriptions to PC Magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly and Computer Gaming World. At least those were the subscriptions I got for free, it could change depending on your answers to the survey I guess.
Let me know what you think about Zinio!

What is the meaning of your question concerning the tablet PC and Zinio magazines? I downloaded a few and it works just the same as for the other computers, except of course that you can use the special tablet pen and buttons to scroll and browse. The format of the magazines can be a problem for Tablet PC’s since the screen of a Tablet normally is smaller than this of a “normal” laptop. One big advantage however is that you can use the “digital ink” facility of the tablet to make notes in handwriting direct on the magazine pages.

Hi Ed, I was just curious about knowing how Zinio magazines work in a Tablet PC, I think it’s going to be a long time until I’m able to get one.
Thank you very much for your comment, the “digital ink” feature is one I was not aware of.
Regards!
