Zinio App for iPad Enables New Era in Magazine
Publishing
-- Newsstand for iPad enables readers to explore, read, interact and
shop over 2,400 of the world's best magazines --
SAN FRANCISCO/PRNewswire/ -- Zinio, a global leader in
digital publishing technology and services, today announced the
availability of its Zinio App for iPad on the App Store. The free app
enables readers, publishers and advertisers to embrace a new world of
interactive, full-color, multimedia magazines on the revolutionary iPad.
"With the Zinio App for iPad, people can have the world's best
newsstand with them wherever they are," said Rich Maggiotto, president
& CEO of Zinio. "Our solution allows thousands of publishers
globally, and advertisers already using Zinio's platform, to take full
advantage of iPad's remarkable, high-resolution and engaging interface.
Readers will no longer simply read magazines they will experience
them."
Making full use of iPad's Multi-Touch display, the app offers the
unique added benefit of letting readers pay once for a magazine
subscription or single issue, then enjoy that publication across
platforms and devices like their iPad, iPhone, PC or Mac.
"Conventional digital readers limit publishers to dull, text-only
experiences that are not very conducive to a magazine publisher's
business model. Why look at beautiful images and spreads photographed
for color in black and white?" said Maggiotto. "We believe iPad is the
tipping point that will shift an entire industry, giving all
stakeholders capabilities and experiences they've never had before."
With the Zinio App for iPad, readers can move seamlessly within each
magazine page between text, interactive graphics, animated
illustrations, videos and much more. Their fingers determine the
experience enlarging photos, launching web pages from ads and articles,
viewing how-to guides and slideshows, and instantly sharing articles
with friends, family and co-workers. The Zinio App extends the
pay-once-read-anywhere ZINIO UNITY(TM) reading platform and launches
with over 2,400 of the world's favorite magazine titles, featuring seven
specifically optimized for an interactive reading experience: Car and
Driver, Macworld, National Geographic, Spin, Sporting News Today and
VIVmag.
The Zinio App for iPad is available for free from the App Store on
iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
