The closest you could come would be via email, but then you can't do anything with the presentation.You could email a link to the web articles..... but again, easy to be ignored, then it gets buried in other email.... old tech is old.This way they can create the 'magazine', send the magazine directly to you, and it is stored on your 'Newstand' for when you want to read it.  It gives them an entirely different method to provide content to their customers, instead of just more of the same.</blockquote>
