Zinio Magazines Aren’t Just for Android Tablets Anymore

Zinio, the digital newsstand boasting thousands of titles,  is now available on all current Android devices.   This is a follow up of the announcement made a month back, when Zinio launched its first Android app for 3.0 Honeycomb tablet devices.  Now Android 2.2 Froyo and 2.3 Gingerbread tablet and smartphone users can also download Zinio for free from Google’s Android Market.

More Android can may now immediately explore, read, interact with and enjoy free articles, buy single issues and subscribe to the magazines that interest them.

With tens of thousands of immediate downloads upon launch in June, Zinio experienced strong demand amongst Android 3.0 tablet users immediately after its release last month. With the expansion to Froyo and Gingerbread devices, Zinio is celebrating its universal access to all Android smartphones and other tablets, by giving new Android users 12 free current issues to popular magazine titles through August 15th, 2011, including: BlackBook, Bike, ESPN The Magazine, House Beautiful, Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine, Maxim, Outdoor Photographer, Redbook, Robb Report, Seattle Met, Surfer, and Wine Enthusiast.

“Zinio offers the greatest breadth for magazines today, both in terms of device and platform availability and sheer number of titles globally,” said Rich Maggiotto, Zinio president and CEO. “We continue to deliver new features and platform availability that allows our users to enjoy their favorite magazines in the most compelling way.”

“Our goal is to give every magazine lover worldwide, regardless of platform, an immersive and seamless way to connect to and engage with their favorite stories – creating a comprehensive and compelling newsstand that is controlled by the individual and customized to their interests.  Extending deeper into the Android ecosystem on a global scale continues to help move us in this direction.”

Zinio remains an innovator in digital publishing, enabling its readers to discover more content and read what they desire on a growing number of devices. Zinio is the only answer for users who want to enjoy their library of magazines and stories online or offline. Users can store their entire library of content across their favorite devices, including all PCs, Macs, Linux devices, iOS, Android, Win7 (beta) and WebOS enabled devices, with a RIM app to launch imminently.

Zinio is truly living up to its name as the “Netflix of Magazines,” taking a decided approach to spreading its access points across connected devices, following Hulu and Netflix in the broadening of supported Android devices for the personal media cloud.
