Magazines 2.0

"When I was a kid, getting a new magazine in the mail was a great experience. I’d come home from school and there it would be, waiting for me to read. The Internet has changed that. I hardly ever have time to read magazines anymore, I simply spend too much time sitting in front of the computer reading the 21st century equivalent to magazines (and newspapers), blogs. Today, the world’s largest bookseller, Barnes & Noble, is attempting to bring the magazine back — in the digital world. BN.com (Barnes & Noble’s website) has teamed up with electronic publisher Zinio to sell subscriptions for more than 1,000 magazine titles.

The digital version will be available to start reading just minutes after purchase." (MG Siegle, Venture Beat)
