Asimov's Kindle subscription for iPad

Does anyone know if Asimov's Kindle edition will work with the iPad Kindle app?

http://www.amazon.com/Asimovs-Scienc...5002966&sr=1-1

The page says that it works with Kindle and Android Reading App but nothing about the iPad. I thought that the Kindle app on iPad supported color, no?

2.0 out of 5 stars Where's iPad and Kindle for Mac version?, February 17, 2011
By B. Rehart - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Asimov's Science Fiction (Kindle Edition)
I love Amazon, and debated long and hard between a Kindle device or iPad, for digital reading.

What does this have to do with Asimov's? Read on...

In the end, I opted for iPad and have been totally glad I did. I get the best of both worlds. Amazon's ease of purchasing and huge selection, while getting Apple's excellent usability and flexibility on iPad (more than just a color reader, it browses the web, plays games, movies, email, etc.).

So, Kindle reader Mac software, 2 thumbs up! I have since been buying most of my ebooks on Amazon, since Apple's ebook store does not have a huge selection. I read all my books on my iPad, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. I am a very happy reader now, and never have to be without my books now, no matter where I am.

But, having said all that...I am disappointed that two of my all time favorite magazines (Asimov's and Analog) are not available on the Kindle for iPad or Mac.

What gives? Aside from the other formatting issues mentioned here, how hard can it be for Amazon to publish on these other devices?

Dell...fix the table of contents issues (highly annoying on other ebooks as well) and Amazon publish on all available platforms. Do that and you not only get all stars, but also more business from me, and the 10,000 other people who didn't take the time to write a review with the same issue.


__________

From a review...

Bummer. I guess I didn't read all of the reviews.

I was going to say go to fictionwise and subscribe from there and get it in whatever format you want (and/or emailed to your Kindle account), but it looks like they pulled down the ability to subscribe on fictionwise. Which sucks because I think I'm on the last issue of my fictionwise subscription to Analog & Asimov's.
