Now You Can Get Magazines On Kindle

Amazon is doing its bit to bring magazine style reading experiences to digital devices. Amazon has just launched a magazine service for Android. The company is offering free trials on many magazines.  The service is live and anyone with a mobile device can install the Kindle app for free and start reading the magazines on their phone or tablet. Things keep on moving at a rapid pace and for anyone on the image-licensing side it remains important to stay ahead of things by working with publishers to license images in flexible and fast ways.

PRESS RELEASE

Amazon today announced that Kindle for Android is the first Kindle app to receive an update that enables users to buy, read, and sync over 100 Kindle newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Newsweek, The Atlantic, and many more. Kindle for Android users can now buy a single issue or subscribe to the most popular newspapers and magazines, have them automatically delivered to their Android-powered device, and enjoy a full color reading experience optimized for the touch interface of Android-powered devices. Additional new features include the ability to seamlessly buy and download Kindle books and periodicals within the Kindle for Android app, share reading progress via social networks, and zoom closer to images and other graphics.
