Digital subs from Barnes & Noble
Barnes & Noble is to start selling subscriptions to more than 1,000 magazines, in both digital and print formats through its website. The US bookseller claims prices will be up to 90% cheaper than buying the magazines from a newsagent.
BN.com is using Zinio for the digital versions and M2 Media to send out magazine subscriptions. Readers will be able to use a ‘see inside’ feature to preview some magazines. Also, 12,000 back issues of hundreds of titles will be available as single copies in digital format.
