How did you get it to download to your computer?

I was able to download the Kindle app for Android, and all my books are there. I looked over the selection of magazines there too, but don't see anything I want. As usual, Amazon makes everything so easy!
Hi again,

Hmmm. I took a subscription to one of the magazines you said you wanted (Redbook) and am having the same problem you are having. I bought two magazines the other day, one subscription and one single issue buy. I downloaded both and I still have the single issue on my Aldiko bookshelf. I canceled the other so I deleted it from my system and no longer have it.

I cranked up my Nook for PC and the Redbook showed up in my library but it gave me an error message when I tried to "read it now". There is a notice that says that mags are only readable on the Color Nook or the Nook for android. From my nook for PC I was able to archive the mag and it showed up in the archive. I went to my Coby Nook and it did not show up in my archive. I had a good wifi connection because I was able to shop for books.

I just went to the B&N web site and looked at the mags I bought (Alfred Hitchcock & Ellery Queen Mystery Mags) and they stated that they were readable on:
* NOOK
* NOOK Color
* NOOK for iPad
* NOOK Study
* NOOK for PC
* NOOK for Android (Tablet)
Whereas Redbook only shows:
* NOOK Color
* NOOK for Android (Tablet)
(Different publishers)

I'm going over to the Nook forum and see if anybody over there has any ideas.

I hope I haven't led you astray - John
