One thing I suppose occasionally forgotten, but important when considering broadband limits - what's the average size of a download magazine ? Nat Geo / Focus types ...

(These are figures through Zinio.)
National Geographics are big compared to other magazines, lots of high-resolution pictures, plus lots of digital extras like videos. The three most recent issues were 460MB, 426MB (this was a special 125th anniversary issue) and 313MB.
More 'normal' magazines are in the 10-25MB range.

Thank you - I suspect that kind of size could worry some folks....

My library just started offering mags via Zinio. No limit, no expiration. I'm in love with magazines again.

Does anyone subscribe to the Times Literary Supplement ? If so, could they recommend an Android app - there isn't one in Googlestore ....
