Barnes and Noble NOOKcolor

Barnes and Noble NOOKcolor is opening up a new and beautiful opportunity to read and look at magazines with full color pictures...in large print. The new Barnes and Noble NOOKcolor offers a full color screen, unlike the Kindle readers which only uses black and white e-ink. There is also a fantastic availability of diverse magazines for men and women - magazines like House Beautiful, Woman's Day, or Country Living for women and Cycle World and Popular Science for men.

BARNES AND NOBLE

Monthly subscriptions cost around $.90 - .99/month and a single issues around .99.- .99. Magazines are provided with a 14 day free trial period, so if you find that you don't like the magazine you can cancel it without being charged. The Nook offers five font sizes- extra small to extra large.

Kindle readers also offer magazines that can be downloaded - more than 80 of them. However, they are not the magazines that I'd be interested in - magazines like Science News and Bloomberg Business Week. And the magazines are missing color pictures. What's a magazine without the pictures?

Apple iPad

In my opinion the Apple iPad is the best e book reader for magazines. The screen size of 9.7" is much larger than the Barnes and Noble Nook six inch screen. Right now magazines are available through the Zinio app. The selection is better than any book store - for men and women. Magazines like Good Housekeeping, Home and Garden, or food magazines like Eating Light or Food Network. If you find a recipe that you like in the magazine - just take your iPad to the kitchen, bookmark the page, zoom the text to enlarge the print and now you can read the recipe. Unlike the Nook which has five font sizes, the iPad has a zoom text feature that allows one to enlarge the text to almost any size.

See a picture that you like? Zoom the picture so that it is bigger and easier to see. Oh, and some magazines offer interactive videos - like National Geographic and Popular Science.
