Zinio eMagazine Reader for U3

January 16th, 2006

Zinio has updated its eBook reader for U3. To bring you up to speed, U3 is a relatively new mobile USB apps platform designed to work on selected drives; and Zinio is an 5-year old electronic magazine delivery service that already work on Windows & Mac. It now carries almost everything you hope for from FHM to MacWorld (US/UK).

The Zinio, now at 3.4, worked nicely with our SanDisk Smart Cruzer Micro. It didn't try to do anything fishy like writing to the system's registry. Though, to access this modern magazine stand requires you to open a default browser on that PC. We hope they let us change to John Haller's U3 FireFox, otherwise, we'll have to login using someone's else browser.

Anyway, picking your choice of magazine, download will commence when you click on the delivery button. Your archive will stay on the U3 drive. Zinio requires a ultra-high res. desktop to show a full page without scrolling.
