(story: Zinio Offers BusinessWeek Trial Issues) A great idea for innovative company Zinio, who is pushing forward the process of digital magazine reading. There is something sacred about reading a magazine in print form. I currently read PC Magazine in digital format and have been doing so for 2+ months now. There are pros and cons to digitial magazines.

Pro: search through magazines using a search engine
Con:  you can’t carry them around quite as portably as you can a magazine; you can’t fold them. Taking your laptop into the bathroom isn’t well … portable.

Pro: it looks cool and makes you feel very geeky — and even has the page turning digitally! Yes, those annoying inserts exist.
Con: it is a bit slower to read through the magazine as you can skim and read faster than you can digitally move through what fits onto the screen (well if you have my eyes, anyway).

Speaking of Wayport, they are offering connectivity in airports around the US. You need to get to the airport early anyway, so this is a handy way to get there and stay net connected while you wait to board the plane It’s available in Seattle (well, since I’m here, I’m excited anyway).
