Two articles, “You are Boring” and “Majestic Espresso” are just two of the many articles featured in The Magazine that I’ve really enjoyed reading. Most issues have 4-5 stories and a solid 75% of stories published are worth reading start to finish. I’m a subscriber to The New Yorker and NY Times both tablet editions. On average, I read on my iPad 1 hour per day. This is enough time to get news, stay up to date on current events and do a bit of random browsing to tech websites. Of the sites and subscriptions I have, barely 10% is worth reading throughout. It’s odd for any publication to have that much great content so kudos to Marco and his team for curating articles that appeal to learning junkies and geeks.
The Magazine is not published weekly and, when the Newsstand icon lights up, I’m always excited and stop everything to open it up and read the first article. The layout, in-line images, clickable explanations / links within articles and author bios are very well done. It takes about 30 minutes to read each issue. For $1.99 a month, it’s perfect. I get nearly an hour of entertainment, beautifully designed that automatically downloaded. It’s entertaining, educational and fun.
I’d encourage anyone with an iOS device to subscribe now because the back-issues are not shrinking and there’s a lot of great content beginning at launch day through the latest issue. $1.99 is a steal. You’ll enjoy it quite a bit even if you’re only a marginal geek.
