As an avid reader of U.S. magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Elle & BusinessWeek in Singapore, it usually take weeks before I can get hold of the latest issue at local bookstores.
Despite the wait and wasting precious time to check for its arrival, I’m still expected to pay a high premium for it!?
Thus, I have switched to subscribing digital version of these U.S. magazines from Zinio.
Zinio offers online magazine subscription to your favourite U.S. magazines in digital format at an extremely low price (due to practically zero distribution & printing cost).
Furthermore, you’ll get your magazines as they hit the newsstand in U.S., and read them anytime – it can be read online (NO software installation required) or downloaded to the computer for offline viewing.
Its digital magazines deliver an elegant reading experience, complete with hi-fidelity images, and exceptional text clarity.
Although I missed the feeling of flipping through a physical magazine, getting a popular magazine like Cosmopolitan (US) at 90% savings with immediate delivery and access to it at anytime are really hard to beat.
And by going paperless and saving trees, it’s a done deal for me!
