There is definitely a us version. It might be detecting your location incorrectly. I have also tried issuu. So far I am not sold on either. I would love to be able to subscribe to a few light magazines and not have to feel bad about recycling them once I've read them, but the cost still seems too high, even compared to the occasional impulse purchase at the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1114870 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 18:31:23 +0000 rachylou 1114870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This won't help you, 'cuz I read magazines on Nook HD. But I thought I'd say I use the Nook HD for magazine reading, size being one factor and the other being that you can "clip" pages and save them to scrapbooks. Originally, I thought the iPad would be good for that, but I find it sucks for magazines.</p> <p>I also look at online magazines from Issuu, but I do that on the computer. They are their own thing - not magazine-stand magazines. But some good eye candy. You may be able to see their PDF mags on the Kindle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1114511 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 03:33:01 +0000 lyn* 1114511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dunno if you guys have this, but I have Next Issue - it is about $15/month and gets me access to the top 100 magazines in North America. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1114248 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 21:54:24 +0000 Diana 1114248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weird, I get the US site by default. &nbsp;Zinio does have some quirks - some of the mags will only work with the app and not in the in-browser reader, but others are the exact opposite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1114226 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 21:30:31 +0000 Jules 1114226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a subscription to a (Canadian) decor mag that came with zinnio access as well. It didn't work at all for me, I can't remember the details but I thought it was pretty much a fail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1113862 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 13:58:41 +0000 kkards 1113862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check out the website of your local library, mine lets you check out some fashion magazines for free. I download them and read them thru the zinio app. Not all magazines are available, and there are more British versions than American, but they're free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1113857 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 13:15:14 +0000 donnat 1113857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zinio definately has an american app. I have the canadian version on my playbook and phone. They frequently offer discount coupons. Yes you can buy by the issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1113826 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 09:18:44 +0000 Lantana 1113826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for asking the question Mo and for your answer Diana. I'd never thought of doing this even though I read a lot on my iPad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1113581 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 01:14:08 +0000 Mo 1113581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx for the tip. &nbsp;I keep getting Great Britain zinio. &nbsp;Is that by default or is there no American site? &nbsp;(I'm such a newb with 'apps' and anything of the kind - I don't have, nor know how to use, a smartphone) &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, I did get so far as to see the option at the bottom for USA lol.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1113564 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 00:43:43 +0000 Diana 1113564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some that I get via Zinio. &nbsp;It's a standalone app for my ipad. &nbsp;You can also read them online, I think.&nbsp; They seem to send me discount and free codes every once in a while. &nbsp;They have most of the big fashion mags, and a pretty good selection of international mags too. &nbsp;(I mostly get cooking and knitting ones.) &nbsp;</p> <p>So, for Kindle. &nbsp;I don't have an actual kindle, but I have the kindle apps for my ipad and laptop. &nbsp;I don't like that they don't have the option to view all the pages as thumbnails. &nbsp;Zinio (and ibooks on the ipad) both allow you to see the whole thing as thumbnails so you can skip to whatever page you want. &nbsp;I don't know if the actual kindle has this functionality. &nbsp;For regular print books it does not matter but for things like magazines and cookbooks with a lot of images and different articles/recipes I like to be able to see the whole thing at a glance. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/e-book-magazines#post-1113511 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 23:51:41 +0000 Mo 1113511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone read magazines on an e-reader? &nbsp;I have a new Kindle and when I quickly looked into it on Amazon, I saw monthly subscriptions, but I just want to grab a mag when it catches my eye, like in the grocery aisle, but online. &nbsp;Any tips? &nbsp;A place to go. &nbsp;Maybe a fashion oriented resource? &nbsp;Ideally, I could look at old issues for free, but am interested in current ones by single issue as well at reasonable cost. &nbsp;Thanks for any help! </p>
