We were due to go live with this in November, however we have delayed this due to a number of factors:
1. Our choices of e-magazines went from 41 to 26 and I understand the reason for this was hackers and so zinio tightened up procedures.
2. It is quite cumbersome when you have to register twice, I know it is straightforward for those who have knowledge but it is still cumbersome
3. On testing the borrower continually receive $5 coupons off for magazines we have subscribed to, which leads to confusion.
4. However, our major concern is with the access you get to content on the zinio website once you have registered. Despite choosing the 'Safe' content or the "no to adult content" option we have continually proving to W.F. Howes that we can gain full access to adult content magazines such as Playboy magazine (a magazine we have obviously not subscribed to!).
All in all I have delayed the launch of the service until I am happy that W.F. Howes have acted on our concerns.
