How does this compare with Zinio.? What are the differences?
Hi Tom ~ In terms of functionality, Zinio and Flipster work the same. We are interested in trying a a different eMagazine service since OverDrive stopped supporting magazines back in November, and Flipster has some big titles that Zinio doesn’t offer. Please let us know what you think of Flipster once you’ve had a chance to play around on it. We did start with a small, pilot collection so there aren’t as many magazines on Flipster as there are on Zinio. We’ll consider adding more titles to Flipster if people like it. Thanks again for your note! Hilary
