Zinio. The consideration is that I can read that on my Windows PCs/laptops and Android tablet as well. Can you even read newstand stuff on the MAC?

Is a bit annoying that they made it a non-removable system folder. Without anything in it, it clutters up my desktop. You have to jump through hoops to even sort of hide it. Would have been nice had they thrown something worthwhile in it, so it wasn't just an empty set of shelves.
