[QUOTE="Wenfuli, post: 1327621, member: 181311"] I myself have no issues with the price of digital magazines, be they on Zinio or Newsstand. As I am "international customer", the price I pay for a subscription is a lot more than what a -- shall we say "local" -- subscriber would pay. Since I am not a local customer, I can't comment on the price difference between a "normal" print subscription and a digital one, but I do know that what I pay for a digital subscription can be anywhere from 25 to almost 40% less than what I would pay for the print edition. I have just recently got my iPad. I tried using Zinio on my Mac before and didn't like it. The screen size is all wrong. I was forever panning and zooming so I could read the articles and that was just too annoying. On the iPad, however, I find one page fits almost perfectly on the screen, the screen being just the right size to display one page and allow the text to be big enough to read. So I don't have to pan and zoom to read, but the option to zoom in if I want to is very nice, especially with pictures. I am currently in the midst of cancelling my print subscriptions and converting them to digital ones. My question is: What do people find better -- in terms of overall experience -- when it comes to reading magazines on the iPad: Zinio or Newsstand? [/QUOTE]
