For downloading 'the other magazine', I have used the page with the up arrow, then "Copy to (desired PDF Reader.)"
For MR this does work, but requires a seperate app, such as "PDF Expert" to open the saved file. (Othres that are free will allow you to do this same thing.)
It may just be easier to read online if available.
*****A point for MR Staff *******
Zinio let us download and read later from our device anywhere... Even if there was no interenet available when we were reading it. This would still be a very much appreciated feature.
ALSO -
A "How-to" for all of us ex-Zinio folks would have been appreciated.... As would have an announcement of the change... (I only found out it changed when I emailed customer service, and Zinio, about a missing issue....)
I get the desire to streamline, and the need to do so, but keeping those of us who used Zinio to access our paid for issues "in the loop" was a requirement that seems to have been overlooked....
