There are a number of tech magazines I'd like to have on NS, but they aren't available. What's the deal? I didn't think I'd care about the magazines on NS, but after tryng out Consumer Reports, I found the interface very engaging and well done.
Got a tip for us?

Why are magazines so slow to get on Newsstand?

It's just that I didn't think they'd need any prompting. With all these tablets it seems like they'd want to tap the market. Particularly tech magazines, which are what I'd be interested in.

It may be there are too many formats for the various mobile/tablet platforms. Whatever, I agree that magazines done in the interactive digital format are the future of print - and a whole lot cheaper to produce. Too bad they are WAY too expensive compared to print versions AND take way too long to download every time you want to read them.
