I am wondering how the Zino reader for digital MR works with a Samsung smart phone? Not looking to replace my laptop as the primary way I view MR. but would like to be able to read it when we are slow at work.
Any feed back would be appreciated
My dad had a Samsung phone prior to getting his LG2 and it worked perfectly fine with Zino, as does his LG2 he currently uses. Don’t believe it makes a difference of the carrier either but we use Sprint.
I presume you mean Zinio, the electronic delivery service that I get MR through.
It works extremely well on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, which is a tablet, not a smart phone (but with the same OS). I would imagine that there would be a minor issue with the size of the screen, but since you have unlimited zoom, that’s only a problem when viewing photos.
A subscription is a subscription. It doesn’t cost you anything to use multiple devices.
Yes I did mean Zinio, didn’t ask dad about name as I copied the name from question as asked. Sorry.
Thanks for the responses and information.
I went and downloaded the Zino app via google playstore. Once Zino installed and I logged in, I could see the 3 years of MR I had purchased. I downloaded the latest issue and it works well. Reading the articles is best done by selecting the text only view.
If your looking for a way to read MR at work or while in a waiting room, this is pretty good. While at home, I will stick to the laptop because of the large screen.
I view MR through Zenio on my 10" Android Thinkpad. I would NOT want to view it on anything smaller.
I agree completely. That’s my chief problem with mobile devices: if they’rebig enough to see clearly, then they’re not really mobile.
That said, my 10" tablet is perfect. Smaller and lighter than carrying a stack of magazines is a huge plus. And, once downloaded, they stick around for a couple of months without internet access. Perfect for reading on a plane.
