Digital magazines and books

Posted under Internet, Literature

I HAVE our editor in chief JV Rufino to thank for introducing me to the Zinio.com digital newsstand, and while I haven’t subscribed to a digital magazine yet, I really love this technology and hope to see more magazines making their digital editions available in this manner.

If you’re skeptical about digital magazines, try out the free samples. As of this writing, the free samples include an issue each of BusinessWeek, Men’s Health, Motor Trend, PC Magazine, Reader’s Digest, Shutterbug, Viv Magazine, and Women’s Health. You can read them online, or download the magazines and read them offline using the Zinio Reader.

Another great thing I discovered is that they’re currently offering free digital editions of over 100 classics, including Beowulf, Little Women, Don Quixote, Ulysses, The Trial, Les Miserables, Dracula, and War and Peace.

Check them out. Honestly, I would love to digitize all the books and magazines I currently have; imagine how much space we would save if digital editions become the norm. Of course, another great thing about going digital is that we have to sacrifice fewer trees :)
