digital magazines

i'm amazed i hadn't heard of this until now. while reading an entry at rick klau's weblog titled «dvd magazines» and found a fellow reader's comment mentioning zinio, a website where one may purchase (or subscribe) to digital copies of a seemingly wide range of popular magazines in varied categories (including special interest).

while i read a great number of online editions of newspapers/magazines from round the world almost daily and indeed prefer hard copies of others (just like my books), being able to purchase a single digital copy or subscribe, especially before or during a flight, or even to enjoy at home, or at one's favourite hotspot reducing the ever-growing mounds of mags round the home yet able to keep the content readily accessible for later reference is rather brilliant.

there is a «try a free sample issue» offer so i may just give it a go right now!
