would you like to see digital running magazines?
Recently, I subscribed to American Photo - a terrific photography magazine. Here’s a sample of the excellent work you’ll see there.
There is a difference with my AP subscription - it’s digital. The mag is delivered to my computer courtesy Zinio.com
Zinio is cool. Anyone with a 17? or larger monitor will love it. The quality of the magazines is excellent and the Zinio reader (a free download) is really neat - the program makes it look like you are turning the page of a real magazine. How great is that? An environmentally friendly subscription that you keep in prestine condition on your hard drive forever.
There’s only one problem - zinio doesn’t currently have any running magazines.
Do you think we can change that? There have been examples of bloggers affecting change on the internet - do you think we can convince zinio to add a running magazine to their subscription list?
For my part, I sent an email to Running Times Magazine because they are already affiliated with Zinio - they just haven’t gotten on the digital bandwagon yet. You can do the same here.
I’ve also contacted Zinio with the same request. Here’s their link.
What do you think? Can we make this happen?

My only problem is on-line magazines are not portable. For example: I can’t read them on the bus or while laying in bed.
But heh, the option would still be nice and maybe someday I’ll have a laptop with wireless in the house.
