Then you have to go to the Magzter website to find out it's not everywhere. No Windows at all. Just ios and android.

I completely appreciate that you would prefer a PDF file (so would I!) but that's not what's on offer.

I don't do the Humble Bundle, so I'm just going by what Sweetpea wrote above, but if they actually *did* say that this available via the "web, Kindle, and more" then it's definitely deliberately misleading if it's not available as a PDF. It's definitely not available for the Kindle ebook readers, and according to the Amazon App store, it's not available for the Fires, either.
Whether or not they specified that it was an "app", saying that the magazines could be read any time on "web, Kindle, and more" is untrue.
Also, Harry, the statement that "virtually all magazines are tied to apps" may be true, but they are mostly also available to read in a browser. Go to zinio.com All of those magazines are tied to apps for IOS or Android, but they are also available to read in a web browser, which means I can read them on my laptop or desktop, or they could be read on a Linux computer, or they could be read on my Fire, even though they aren't available from the official Amazon App store. That is truly able to be read anywhere.
If I had paid for this, I would ask for my money back due to false advertising.
