Several of the issues you raised are, I believe, addressed in those updates, but some may not yet be.
#Windows 7 zinio reader software#
We are always working on new releases and updates to the software and have some very exciting releases coming up very soon. We appreciate product feedback, and the issues you raised will be shared with our product development team. I'll just go back to reading the PC Magazine website for free, I think.įirst, to be clear, I work at Zinio and saw your post and wanted to take a few minutes to respond. Both reasonable issues and I suppose Zinio does achieve those. If you Google for Zinio discussion, there is not much, but some people do seem to like it, mostly those who are unable to get the paper version or want to avoid the waste of paper. This proprietary stuff limits them to basically Windows PCs or Macs, they don't support any mobile devices or e-book readers or Linux. I'd give them feedback, but the Zinio website is devoid of such frivolous features and contains only the most barebones "FAQ". And this is supposedly version 3.7! How bad must it have been before? In short, it makes nearly every amateur mistake programmers being driven by marketing and coolness, and ignorant of any real user needs, usually make.

The "check for update" function just goes to the download web page, and doesn't tell you anything about whether an update is available or not.There is no way to select and copy text.no standard border, so you can't tell if the borders are sizable or not.therefore the toolbar is cluttered with mostly useless things like "annotations", options, "give a friend a free copy" (yeah right, I want to keep my friends).

I'm not sure what kind of idiotic coders they have who would not know about multimonitor support - this is the MEDIA industry, guys. Unfortunate, because that monitor is perfect for such reading tasks.

They have an "online" (Flash) reader which doesn't function at all on my PC (Firefox 3, Flash 10). About the only features of electronic use they actually provide are electronic distribution (to selected platforms) and links. Basically, this allows all the hidebound paper layout guys at the magazines to go on pretending they are publishing to a piece of paper, thus neatly negating almost all the benefits of online reading, but allowing them to continue their A4-limited habits.

Instead it's like a PDF on steroids - fixed layout, fixed fonts, fixed colors, and an unhealthy dose of DRM. Zinio is a way for magazines to publish an "online" version without any of that tedious mucking around with making it into actual HTML. Unfortunately, the electronic subscription is via Zinio. Great, I thought, recently they seem to be offering good articles. I saw recently that PC Magazine has an electronic subscription.
