[Web4lib] Magazine portals?

[Campbell, James (jmc)]

And then of course there's Amazon's Kindle, with US and other newspapers and 20 or so magazines.

I've used Zinio (http://zinio.com/), where you can subscribe to a magazine or buy a single issues (no individual articles).  You read it online in a Flash-based page-turner.

Academic journals have been available through commercial portals for
more than a decade, but what about more popular magazines and
journals? In USA and UK e.g.?

In my own country, Norway, just a handful of these publications may be
bought as pdf at e.g.

You can't download a single article , just the whole issue.
