Digital mag subscription and iPad


Would appreciate if anyone can share their user experience using the iPad to read their audio mag subscription in digital format?

Been thinking of getting one to replace my Touch, which has mainly functioned as remote for my Sonos, but would also like the iPad to double up as reader and move my subcription to digital format and get rid of print copies. Does the mag copy fill the screen nicely and easy to read? Can you still pinch to zoom in/out of a page? Does the copy arrive in email as PDF attachment or a download link sent via email?

I like reading on bed or while music listening and thought the device could serve its purpose well. Plus the fact I could keep past issues easily and browse back quickly if searching for something.

Thanks.

Edgejazz,

I have an ipad and it is a nice device. It makes a pretty good reader and yes you can pinch to zoom. The device makes it easy to surf the web and read articles but does not support
flash so keep that in mind.

I like to do light reading but still prefer "analogue" media for longer sessions of reading.

Cheer.

Thanks, Ck. Yes, I'm aware of the non-flash support, thank you, it's the same with the iPod Touch with web surfing. But in particular would like to know if the subscription copy fits well on the screen too.

Edgejazz,

I think it works fine and subscription copy reads ok. I would advise you to see for yourself as my viewing opinion may vary.
