The new app can only be an improvement. I hope so, I've tried Zinio on my Android phone and gave up. I received an old iPad yesterday and loaded Zinio and the reading options still seem woefully limited. All I have been able to figure out is how to change the text size.
Compare this to reading Overdrive magazines in the Nook app where I can change text size, margins, line spacing and background color. |

I don't use Zinio for libraries, the magazines appear in my regular Zinio app. The Zinio for libraries app was terrible. I wonder if the magazines will still show up in my regular Zinio. If they don't I wonder if all the magazines I currently have will be able to be accessed in the new app.

Hmm, the Zinio app on my ipad is a bit cumbersome but I had some regular magazines I would get and flip through. Worked well for me once I figured out how to sign up. Looked great on a 12.9 screen!

I like Zinio for Libraries if only because I don't get tempted to spend a fortune on hundreds of mags every month.

After praising the Nook app for reading magazines and newspapers, I now can no longer adjust the font size on my iPad. Oh well.

I was upset with the Nook for iPad app for magazines too. However, they just put out on update to the app and fixed the text size problem.

Cgsmom, thank you for the alert! I've been traveling and hadn't checked. My irritation was compounded by a long international flight where I couldn't read the nook magazines. It was doubly compounded by B&N's response (which was to not actually address the actual problem--twice). I sent a brief but scathing email and was finally informed it was a known issue and would be remedied in an update.
I know I know, first world problems... |

I'm with Purple Lady. I log in to my local library's web site to browse through their Zinio magazine offerings and just click on the ones I want. They get delivered to the standard Zinio app I have installed on my HD+. I've never used the library version of Zinio.

For those using the standard Zinio app, how do you adjust the background color? I downloaded the app and so far, like the Zinio for Library app, I can only adjust the font size. I can adjust background color the iPad overall but I would like to adjust the color in the Zinio app itself.

I only read magazines in the Zinio app and the magazine takes up the whole screen. So, there is no background color to adjust.
