It's a reasonable compromise, I suppose. The scrolling is pretty quick, but the zooming seems to be a bit limited.

Soooo, if the primary interest is in reading the text of a magazine reasonably formated, this is a solution, but if the graphics are a major part of the magazine it isn't an ideal solution? For example, Harvard Business Review is workable, People Magazine isn't?
