I used it for a while because i got a free six month subscription to Macworld. I had to download the reader. It works well, but it's kind of funny because the magazine shows up on your screen looking just like a physical mag, and the reader turns the pages just as you would reading a physical mag when you click the mouse.
I forgot the subscription was for six months and tossed the reader after a month or two because it came up and asked if I wanted to look for a magazine everytime I turned on my computer. Didn't hurt anything, but it annoyed me. If you have your computer on all the time that won't be a problem. There's probably some way to turn that off that I was too lazy to look for.
I don't get that much pleasure out of reading long articles on the computer, but if you're okay with that, Zinnio is satisfying enough.
