Yeah, I could go for one of those! As far as delivery, so far the best example of a magazine delivery system I've seen is
Zinio. It is flash-based, so that limits it to laptops, UMPCs and PDAs (with enough chops). But it displays well, allows you to zoom into portions of the screen, you can download and save the mags on your hard drive for access anytime, and is full-color. I'm checking out a few mags on it now, and it makes for easy reading when on-the-go.
Now, if simpler readers could run the Zinio app, or something similar, and download from the web (possibly wirelessly), that would make a great device.
