Strangely enough, I somehow managed to get a copy of it in the mail, it’s just another of the sexy-gadget magazines that frankly are done better by the dozens of websites out there. And here are two more, this one a subscription ad card for a new Ziff Davis magazine called “Sync”.

And yes, it took just as long to render this turned page as it does a full page. In the first, it is on the right side, and the next picture shows after “turning” the page.

To the right here you can see an Earthlink ad card in two shots. What’s worse, is they act like pages, meaning you can’t just click them away or move them, you have to “turn” the page to see the content they obscure, and since it’s not paper, you can’t tear it out ( see first comment).

You know those cardboard inserts in magazine offering subscriptions to the publication, or from advertisers? They’re still here, along with those annoying foldouts. Why bother putting it there then? This is not a beta or preview version, the app claims to be version 1.6, and I found references to older versions on the web, so they didn’t skip versions 1.0 through 1.5. Further, the Maximize/Restore button doesn’t actually do anything, despite being there and changing state when you click it. It’ll take about two full seconds to redraw the screen.Īnd while we’re talking about switching apps, you’ll have to use ALT-TAB as the reader maximizes itself full-screen, blocking access to the taskbar, even if your taskbar is set to Autohide (as mine is). And god help you if you ALT-TAB out of the app, and then back in. on this same system, it’s nearly instant when flipping pages, and the pages are redrawn as I pan, I don’t have to stop panning to let the app redraw, as in the Zinio Reader. Adobe Acrobat Reader is so much faster, I can’t even begin to compare them. Grab the page and pan in any direction, same thing. Zoom in, the whole page has to redraw as though from scratch, still taking over a second. Zooming in or out on a page is just as slow. Simply caching the next page while the user is loading this one would solve the molasses-like page turning problem. I know they’re using some caching, because if you click back a page, it’s near instant, and if you then click forward again to the page you just had loaded, it’s also very fast. Now, this could be overcome with some smarter caching technology. It actually takes more than a second to go to the next page.

Zinio managed to take the PDF format to new lows.įirst, the app is horribly slow. However, if I were Adobe, I wouldn’t brag about that.
ZINIO READER PDF LICENSE
zno files aren’t PDFs, Zinio license Adobe’s PDF technology for the core of their application.
ZINIO READER PDF DOWNLOAD
This requires they download the reader, though, so that the DRM features will still be in effect. You click the button, and your browser opens to a page where you input their email address so a copy of the magazine can be made available to them. There’s also the ability to share a copy of the magazine with a few friends. There’s a feature to highlight areas of the pages, and also a feature to make notes and annotations that are stored from session to session, and unlike paper notes or highlighters, these can be removed perfectly. You can launch the downloader separately or from within the Reader app. This is nice, because it’s easier to store digital copies than paper copies. There’s a downloader app that receives the magazines you’re subscribed to, and stores them in a special subfolder in your My Documents folder. I’ll start with the good points, as it won’t take long. Acrobat even does DRM, which seems to be the main point of using Zinio’s software.Ĭlick the link for my informal review on the app. Frankly, Adobe’s PDF would have been a far better choice for many reasons.

ZINIO READER PDF PC
I was not-too-pleasantly surprised to see PC Magazine’s digital edition isn’t in PDF, but in a format from a company called Zinio for their proprietary Zinio Reader. I figured, “well, it’s still PCMag, and still free, so why not.” I already have a print edition subscription to eWeek, and grab the PDF versions when I need an article and I’ve already tossed the aging paper version. Sadly, when I got to the free subscription offer, all the print-edition giveaways were gone, so I had to accept the subscription in digital format only. Dvorak still are almost worth the cover price alone. I still read it now and then, and the columns from Bill Machrone and especially John C. I stopped buying it years ago because it was becoming so Internet-centric and home-user oriented that it lost the power-user edge it had when PCs weren’t as popular in the pre-$20-ISP age. I was lucky enough to get in on a free 1 year subscription to PC Magazine a couple months ago.
