I’ve made no secret of the fact that I am a huge fan of Zinio’s awesome iPad app. Since I got my iPad I do most of my reading on it. That includes magazines and I much prefer to use the single Zinio app for all of them to cluttering up my homescreen with lots of individual magazine apps. In addition I love the fact that if I have a magazine through Zinio I can also read it on my iPhone, iPod touch and Mac. That convenience is a huge benefit. Mix in the fact that Zinio now carries over 2700 magazines on the iPad and hundreds on the iPhone and it should be obvious why I’m such a fan.

Those individual magazine apps got a bit of a boost today when it was reported that they had reached a deal with Apple to make subscriptions easier. Personally I’m sticking with Zinio for the aforementioned reasons. It is just too convenient for me not to.

Earlier today I received an email which said–

With Apples promotion of Zinio’s app, (and lots of consumer support) we are now #1 for the iPad and iPhone in news and #12 in overall iPad apps (and rising) (we are in the top 5 for over 25 countries)

That’s pretty impressive and to celebrate they are launching the Zinio’s Reading Revolution Campaign! If you aren’t using Zinio it is a great time to give it a try since… as part of this campaign you can get free magazines.

Here’s how…

Visit Zinio here at this link, sign up on that page and enter the promotional code 13623.

Seriously, it is that simple. Two easy steps and you’ll get a few free magazines. The price is right, the app is great and the magazine selection is getting better and better.

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.

    Great review Dan and agree this a great way to read magazines. As a traveler for work I love being able to take all my magazines with me and view them either on the iPad, iPhone or laptop. I can take all my past issues,which my back loves me for. I can also get the newest releases without having to go to the store.
