The free Magazine reader app Zinio is giving a $25 credit magazine subscription credit to new customers. I’ve been using Zinio
for about a week on my android and it has become one of my favorite reading apps. I like to read in my spare time, but don’t always want to jump into a book, nor do I want to carry around a huge stack of magazines. Zinio is a good green solution and is available for Android, iPhone, iPad, desktops and laptops. When you first sign up they allow you to pick a free 3 month subscription so you can try out the app. After a day or two they credit your account $25 that you can use toward digital subscriptions of your choice. Zinio is also running a Black Friday Special with 50% off many Magazines, if you sign up now you may be able to get your $25 credit before the sale, you could possibly pick up twice as many Free Magazines… I love Free Stuff.
The Zinio app on the Android is pretty slick for a reader app. It opens to a Newsstand that shows all of your active subscriptions and allows you to download with just one click. You also have the ability to shop for new subscriptions directly from the app. You can purchase single issues or multiple issue subscriptions. Zinio offers hundred of publications, so many it can be a bit overwhelming. They do have them organized by catagories which makes the shopping a little easier. Catagories include art, automotive, entertainment, home, lifestyle, men, news, science & tech, sports, travel, women…and adult if you enable it…for the articles of course. When you purchase a magazine it is available on all of your devices, unless restricted by the publisher.
Once you load the app on your device and download your first magazine you can browse the covers then click on the one you want to read. While reading you can graphically flip pages one page at a time or switch to a multi-page format where you see the pages side by side like a real magazine. On my phone the screen is large enough that I can easily read most articles however you also have the option of clicking on the TEXT icon and the app will eliminate the pictures and reflow into a text only version of the article for easier reading.
Normally I get my magazines free via online promotions and rewards. Many from RecycleBank.com , however they send magazines the old fashion way by the mail. So to stay green I drop off my old issues to the freebie shelf at the local library. It would be nice to see Zinio and RecycleBank combine their efforts to go green and offer Recyclebank rewards via Zinio.
