I saw an ad in my (paper) Entertainment Weekly magazine about a Zinio type of online magazine subscription app called Next Issue (it has all the Time Warner mags missing on Zinio). I can get a subscription on my Vox free with my paper subscription...and also a free trial. Works with most Android devices...appears to be only one problem. It's my typical problem I have on almost a daily basis when trying to do anything online: I don't have a zipcode...won't let me enter a postal code...that age old problem Canadians have trying to squeeze 6 letters and numbers + a space into a 5 digit numeric field. Grrrr......

I see no mention of the service being available only to those with US billing addresses, but it appears that way seeing as how a free trial required my 'state' and 'BC' wasn't on the list...and it didn't like it when I selected 'WA' as I sometimes do!

Wondering if an American forum member can try it out for me and let me know how it worked on the Vox.

I have a question/ticket sent to their support asking about Canadian addresses, but I think I already know the answer...
