Big-ass iPad magazines

Michael Mulvey:

How about publishers stop making their magazines a big, fucking stack of PNGs and start to use actual text. The kind of text you can select and copy and paste. And look up in in-app dictionaries.

Exactly. Magazine publishers that use giant PNG images just don’t give a shit about their customers.

    I agree.  There are several magazines I have subscriptions to that I just prefer to follow in Flipboard instead of downloading each issue.

    Sad thing Is those magazines are nowhere near a Jump to real text… Thanks to Adobe’s Tools (They can’t even spit out a proper eBook without heavy code tinkering)

    Silky how so many arbitrary apps are banned from the appstore when these lazy magazine creators get free acces. Apple should ban these.
