My new PowerBook included the Zinio reader application, a digital magazine reader with proprietary downloadable content, and an issue of MacWorld. I'm so used to reading my articles in web form, and have had such mixed feelings about e-books and the like, that I'm surprised it's a reasonably pleasant experience reading magazine content on a screen in its original magazine layout (including the ads, of course). And on my widescreen Powerbook, it's quite nice. Naturally, their selection is very limited, and, as I understand it, magazines are not big business. Maybe if I did a lot of commuting by air or train with my Powerbook, downloadable magazines would have a place in my life. But I barely have time to listen to Audible audio books (or even read something of the paper variety) as it is.
