Android Tablet Owners Now Get Top Magazine Articles for Free Through Zinio

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Zinio, the world's largest and most popular newsstand, announced today that its "Explore" offering is now available to Android tablet users. Zinio Explore is the only offering today that allows consumers to discover the latest premium stories from top magazines for free.

Zinio Explore is offered alongside the "Shop" and "Read" sections, providing access to relevant topical stories across every major magazine genre, from sports to entertainment and business to lifestyle. The articles are updated daily, as new issues hit newsstands, and include such popular titles as Harvard Business Review, The Economist, Outside, T3, Marie Claire, Maxim, Rolling Stone and National Geographic.

The addition of explore capabilities is part of Zinio's ongoing effort to provide consumers with innovative features that improve the reading experience. The current Android upgrade, in addition to Explore access, brings greater performance, increased stability and intelligent library management.

"With Zinio, just like browsing a newsstand, readers can pick a magazine and read a quick article," said Zinio President and CEO Rich Maggiotto. "But unlike a real-world newsstand, or any other digital newsstand, Zinio offers 5,000 magazines, covering every subject. Our readers can enjoy domestic titles, as well as hard-to-find content from around the world — we're providing the first truly global newsstand."

Zinio continues to focus its efforts on global access and user experience, giving its readers the ability to discover, read and shop for their favorite magazines from around the world, on their favorite devices.  

Users can download the updated version now in the Android Market.
