I use The Atlantic app on the iPad, which I use for frreee because I subscribe to the print version. THe app is buggy and a little slow, though. Not really a fan. If I can use B&N or Kindle's version, I might go with their implementation of the Atlantic.

I would say, that hands, down, the best way to read digital magazine content is to use the Flipboard app on the iPad. It just takes the presentation of digital magazine content to another level. They get content from many different magazines as well. I'm a bit worried about their business model, though.There are now ads in Flipboard, but they are tastefully done interstitials. Hopefully, they won't become any more instrusive.

According to the owner, Flipboard could be coming to the Amazon tablet. If it does, download it. You're in for a great magazine reading experience.
