What is Reddit's opinion of Zinio?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Alright guys, I'm sorry, but it's time to SMAAAASH!! your dreams apart, piece by piece in a methodical and reasonable manner.

First off, let me preface this by saying this isn't just a "oh guys this is obvious fake stop hoping losers lol" post, but rather a methodical breaking down of why this is kinda dumb. I stared at this "leak" for a while, and compared it to the actual website that this was supposed to be from.

First off, let's talk about what OP said regarding the leak. It's supposed to be from zinio.com, which exists, and is an incredibly popular magazine website (from what I found on the internet at least), so that much stands. It does carry Game Informer, which is also kind of important. However, now we begin dethroning this usurper of a leak.

This is what one of their pages for purchasing a magazine looks like. The similarities are... well... non existant. As you can see, they charge $5 for one issue, and $20 for a 12 month subscription. The price on here shows a $15 price tag for one issue, but this could just be a mistake, as it is, infact, a "leak". That's not really the biggest issue anyways with this. All of the formatting is way off, in the example I posted there isn't even a "Order now at Amazon" button! There's an add to cart one, sure, but not an amazon button. We're just getting started.

They never list a description for the issue. It's for the magazine as a series, but not for the individual. Besides that, it's in the wrong place regardless. Posting something early isn't an excuse for a total formatting overhaul. No matter how badly you want this, and trust me I understand, you can't argue that.

There's obviously some smaller things I haven't mentioned, but really guys. It's just a shame that people still waste their time making things like this to send a whole community up in arms.

My library has a subscription to an e-magazine app (Zinio) available free to any cardholder. Different libraries may subscribe to different packages of magazines, but my library has The Economist on there.

Cincinnati Magazine is a decent foodie resource. Here is last year's Best Restaurants list. This year's list is in the current issue, which is only available to subscribers or for purchase here. Their site also has other reviews, Best New Restaurants lists, blogs, etc.

edit: The first link above is apparently a mis-labeled list of last years Best New Restaurants. There should also be a list of Best Restaurants somewhere.

Mine also does magazines using Zinio. Best thing about my library's Zinio service is there is no limit to the number of people that can check out a magazine at once, so if it is in their catalogue you can download it immediately. Not sure if that's the same everywhere tho.

UK version is available eletronically through Zinio for $ 49.81/year. You can read it on your browser, iPad, iPhone, Android or other Zinio apps. I'm a subscriber and I enjoy it.

Racecar Engineering is a pretty technical magazine. I'm not sure LMPs specifically are a popular subject in actual academic papers but try searching many of those scientific article libraries if you have access to them.

There was someone here who was doing some sort of college/uni-level schoolwork about materials? on race cars. Maybe someone else remembers who it was and/or link to that post.

This is from a Men's Fitness article that you can read here. Also NY Times. And if you want to really feel in awe, there are more pics here

I'd had an Edge subscription in the UK since 1998, but since moving to Canada I can only get issues 2 months behind in stores or pay the crazy international subscription. My cheap solution was a digital subscription through Zinio and would recommend it if you want to check out the magazine without importing. You can use the reader app on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS (the iPad version is a joy to use). I do miss the smell of the paper though...

That's off-topic. And also this.

You can get a print sub through our site (click subscribe at the top of our home page: http://hightimes.com/) and we also have a digital edition through Zinio: http://www.zinio.com/browse/publications/index.jsp?prnt=cat1960020&productId=286648858&categoryId=cat1960098

Enjoy!
