    ****.

    BLUEATRIA  I installed the new UB test version the reader and delivery manager and it works great. I am running 10.5.2 on a MacBook Pro. It is a bit faster than the old ppc version (which I had no problem with). I get several US magazines this way as the prices for things like Mac World in Australia are just extorionate ($AUD 12-15!!) and the Zinio reader is not a bad way to read magazines. The delivery is automatic and very simple. I hope they don't go to a browser based reader like their example iphone reader as that is pathetic. I like the reader and if they could make a native application for the iphone/touch I would be very happy. I have been quite a long time Zinio user (about 3 years). I highly recommend Zinio.   (Version 2.3.12278)

    THE_JUDGE_G4  Zinio seems to have updated their app to v2.3 and compiled it as a UB:

    THE_JUDGE_G4  I like the idea of being able to read my magazines in a digital form on my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, because of the lack of development for this app there are couple of problems:

    1. CPU intensive when running the download manager. Uses 100% of CPU when downloading a digital mag. Also, for those on Intel machines, this app has not been compiled as a UB.

    2. This is not Leopard compatible. Will not open any old or new mags. As most of the reviewers have stated, obtaining support is futile.

    At this point, this software is useless to me.  (Version 2.2.6496)

    BRAINFRAGMENT  Had emailed Zinio a few times too as the reader has never run very well on Intel compared to PPC. They replied and said they aren't working on updating Zinio Reader but they are working to make the magazines so they open in your web browser or something like that. Basically they are hoping to cover more systems that way.  (Version 2.2.6496)
