Fat fingers? easy, get on a diet ...

Agree with the Magazine's complaints. I personally believe 10" is a better format or size for Magazines. You avoid some of the workarounds of using text only for some articles or zooming.
But overall, for clicking or interacting with links is no different than my Galaxy SII. You just need to zoom in, if there are several links together, and that fixes the issue.
I wonder if some of those users or complains are coming from people who do not own 3.5 inches smart phones. If they are used to 10" screens, I understand it can be a bit frustrating, at the beginning.
