That's what a digital magazine / paper should be like.

I'm not knocking ereaders. I love my 600, and it's great for what I use it for - reading books.
that looks great but will require a full fledged netbook class processor in order to run all the animations, mirasol/pixelq/color e-ink display and wifi for connectivity. Not something affordable in the e-reader price range today.

I would be happy with reflowed versions of all magazines today. I don't care about multi-columned formating, please just give us a single column reflowed version of the magazines available today.

I don't see how is can be so difficult to do considering reflow in Adobe zoom works so well.

Just give us a pre-reflowed versions for those ereaders without reflow functions and every eink reader will be happy and publishers will get their money.

Otherwise we'll just have to resort to less legal means.
