Any pocketmag users?

Just some FWIW info on this general subject...

Many years ago my wife bought me a Barnes and Noble Nook HD Ereader with a FSM and Scale Auto subscription as a gift. I also have an electronic subscription to Flight Journal through B&N. I still use the Nook HD and also have the Nook App on a Samsung tablet and both work well. Interestingly on both devices I recently realized that periodicals cannot be saved to the SD card in either device, only to internal device memory or archived to B&N cloud storage. I have many books (some from Kalmbach) and all of them can be stored to the SD card. If B&N were to go away I suppose many of my periodicals would as well. The selection on B&N for scale modeling periodicals is very limited.

I do miss holding a paper magazine but really like being able to take a large library of books and periodicals on travel with a single tablet. We moved cross country a few years ago and I had years worth of scale model magazines stored in the hobby room and garage. After looking at the physical volume of all those bankers boxes full of mags and looking at the cost of moving a POD across the country the mags were the first thing to go when push came to shove. Some quick and conservative arithmetic put me at giving away well over $3K of shelf price magazines to guys at the local IPMS chapter At least they got passed on and didn't go in the recycle bin. I won't get into how many cabinets worth of model stash went into the POD

Thanks OldRetiredEngineer for the detailed feedback I appreciate it.

I am a Pocketmag user, and have been so for about 10 years. I started when I lived in the middle east (Qatar, not Delaware) where magazines were hard to find, not to mention having to lug them home.

I have been generally pleased, except for a few download glitchs when I switched to Windows 10. I like digital content although there isn't a way to search through the content for specific subject. Having back issues available on my hard drive is handy and no internet connection is necessary yo pull up old issues. Zooming photos is handy and clipping photos and pasting them into Word documents is an easy way to keep particular subject photos.

I currently subscribe to four model magazines through Pocketmags and FSM on Zinio. I prefer Pocketmags viewer intrface to Zinio.

Thanks Tojo72 I appreciate that feedback.

I have used them to purchase individual issues,but not to subscribe.I had tried issues of Meng Magazine and Tamiya Magazine in that format,no complaints here.
