For sure the iPad allows one to view and read a magazine the way it was published and that probably should be the goal. Taking into consideration the light weight and ease of holding the Fire I can live with the compromise. A compromise I don't believe is a loss of quality but I do understand your view.

My sentiments exactly. Love the "text view" option. That, along with thumbnail images of the actual magazine pages that can be blown up is all that I need. That was my favorite feature on the NOOKcolor. It's great that they incorporated it into the NOOK app. Wonder if Amazon will do the same with the Kindle app. Right now it's basically an RSS feed for magazines. Plus some magazines aren't even available within the app.
