Free magazines on your iPhone
Back in May Zinio released a Web-based iPhone magazine reader which allows you to view complete magazines for free. To access it, simply navigate to www.zinio.com/iphone from your iPhone and you’ll get free access to a number of popular magazine titles including:
- U.S. News
- Playboy
- Men’s Health
- Macworld
- Car and Driver
- Penthouse
- ELLE
- Viv
- PC Magazine
- Kiplingers
- Esquire
- Technology Review
- Popular Photography
Surprisingly, the Web app still works and it’s still free. On their site Zinio charges US$5 for a single issue although you can preview the first 20 pages for free.
If you want to try it without an iPhone you need to change the user-agent on your browser. iSmashPhone provides links to simple instructions on doing this in both Safari and Firefox.
