Vox + Zinio + free 1 yr subscription = joy

Cdesja5 · 11-04-2011, 06:21 PM

You can get a free subscription by going to "goreadgreen.com", they have Macleans as one of the magazine choices (amongst others, about 30-40 different magazine choices). One free subscription per email address; if a Canadian postal address doesn't work, (it didn't in May when I did this, it may have been fixed since then) you need to use an American address.

FYI, MacLeans subscription is $45 on Zinio site...That's a REALLY good deal as it comes out once every 2 weeks.
Enjoy! Magazines look great on the Vox!

Crap already signed up. Oh well.

There's lots of choices, even if you have Zinio and a paid subscription already, you can get a different magazine...

Thanks Cdesja5! It still works if you already have an account!!! It just asks you for a password. Got a free subscription to Backpacker magazine!!!

Nothing better than quality free reading material!

Thanks worked great!

Spent $199 on the Vox, saved $45 on Macleans....hummm. I was planning on buying a subscription tomorrow.

Cdesja5 · 11-04-2011, 09:03 PM

Do you have another email? You could save even more!

I'm not loving Zinio on the Vox. Page turns seem hit or miss (mostly miss). I believe that the magazines are optimized for larger tablets (like iPAD) and the whole resizing thing is annoying to me as I cannot read the text, even on single page, without manually making it larger. The "redraw" seems to take forever.

I find myself using it in horizontal mode and then clicking to change pages from the menu at the bottom. I may just read my free magazine on my computer, instead.

I'd like a click for the page turn, or the ability to have a one page option horizontally and just scroll up and down.

Good thing you didn't shell out the $45 for MacLeans then

I had Zinio on my laptop but didn't use it as often as I would on a tablet. Guess my eyesight's a bit better than yours (but fading fast as I read more and more onscreen!!!)

And at 59, my eyes are getting sorta old.
