Most of my reading will still be done on a larger screen, however reading fixed-format digital content on the small screen of a smartphone will be a secondary activity for me, and likely for many others. I’ve been a paying customer of Zinio digital magazines for at least six years, so the flexibility to read occasional magazine content on an Android phone is welcome. And on the 3.7-inch, 800×480 resolution display of the new myTouch phone, there’s plenty of zooming required. Until the magazine completely loads high-quality page images, it can show some text fuzziness when zooming in. You can start to browse magazine content within a minute or two of starting a magazine download, but the optimal experience won’t happen until the entire title is downloaded.

On Friday Zinio added support for Google Android handsets, bringing content from more than 1,000 digital magazine publishers to smartphones and small tablets running Android versions 2.2 and 2.3, approximately 78 percent of all phones currently powered by Google.
