One question I have about magazines - do they load up your Nook with content? I mean, with a weekly magazine like the New Yorker, it seems that pretty soon my Nooks will be overwhelmed with issues. Is there a provision for deleting individual issues? I know you can archive them, but how about just getting rid of them completely? (I don't need to keep a huge backlog of old magazines)
I am a print New Yorker and Time subscriber and I took advantage of the free digital version available for each to existing print subscribers. Aside from the question above about how to get rid of old issues, here are a few thoughts and findings:
Both are delivered to a Color Nook as having "enhanced" content, which means there are buttons to press that bring up more content than is in the physical mag. This is nice. But what isn't nice, IMHO, is that magazines delivered like this seem to have no way to enlarge the text. Plus, they will not display the text in landscape mode. So, unless I am missing something, you are left with just about no options for viewing the mag except this pretty small font. Maybe someone else knows how to get other reading options?
One thing that I was really pleased with is that if you have a Nook Touch (and presumably a Classic Nook), the magazine is delivered to it as a pretty plain-looking mostly text version. I was worried that "enhanced" mags might not be delivered at all to the b&w e-reader Nooks. So this is one way around the small font problem on the Color Nook - look at the pretty pictures on the Color and read the text on the Touch!
