Periodicals - where to get them
Hey Y'all,
I had a Laptop Pmagazine subscription for a year shipping from the US to Germany, and honestly, I was more than dissatisfied with the 1-2 month delay with every issue. Sometimes I get photography mags from the UK at the train station. But those, too have a delay of at least 1 month. I've written to the publisher of the photo mag whether they would provide pdfs or such as I don't care about additional CDs going with the mags. The reply was expectedly clear: no. I know about Zinio, but I dislike reading my mags on the PC. I'd rather have them on my reader which is not possible with zinio files. Key question: is there any other distributor who sells magazine subscriptions in a non proprietary format??? |

I had a subscription with Zinio as well. Those guys really have to AT THE VERY LEAST adapt a DRM ebook format compatible with e-ink readers.
Can someone tell them to wake up to 21st century already? |

That sounds great. I'll have to check that out. Let's see what else they've got.

That's funny. I never would have thought they really care about customer opinion (well, at least not really)
