i think this is one of the most
underrated website ever
issuu for free eZine
actually i don’t get it
who called it an eZine in the first place
instead of an eMag
well.. 
the minimalist overall design of the site is
already attractive enough for
me to further scroll down
and as you go on and on
browsing different genres
pleasure to your eye, mind and
even your tastebud
The genres listing
- Surfing
- Home, food & living
- Fashion
- Spring
- Travel
- Art & design
- Staff picks
- Wedding
and that’s still endless
you name it
moreover
it publishes not only eZine
but catalogue, yearbook, guidebook
and book, as a eBook
it runs on Flash
therefore there’s this
really smooth transition
as if you are reading a hardcopy
even better than a hardcopy i would say
because imagine if
you are reading a thick magazine
when you are nearing the centre pages
the “gutter” in between pages
kinda makes flipping difficult
and you tend to miss part of the content
just like let’s say
you are making some photocopy
from a super duper thick textbooks
some contents in the middle go awry
if you didn’t flatten the pages well
and everything is in
high resolution image
and no worries
contents are up-to-date
some are SS 2014 / Mar 2014 issues
i even saw a Autumn 2014 catalogue, k
and allows full browsing
eg:
300+ pages of Elle magazine
April 2014 issue
what else can you ask for
however, well however
the first 10% are ads
luxurious big names ads
the content page is on page 30
and you flip on, it’s all ads ads ads
high quality ads, so it’s fine
in other words, if all you want is to
do some ad-browsing or brands know-about
issuu.com is where you stop by too
the only con i found is
they actually launched an app
on Android but not iOS
oh come on!!
amazing
and i think it’s not too much to say that
some are the titles you won’t even find it
at the bookstores in town
even if there are similar titles
“NO FLIPPING” please
i am sure you wouldn’t be so unethical
to actually open the wrapping and
start flipping like nobody’s business
but *gasp* some people do that too, right
a Vegan quarterly!
for certain publications
i am not too sure if copyright issue is involved
hope they don’t get into trouble
any time soon or
get into paid-memberships
maybe that’s the good thing about it
being under-rated
well so it actually defeats the purpose of me
posting a long post
trying to tell you how awesome issuu.com is
damn you, Steph
p.s.
adult content publications are also available
that’s what i assume from the covers
but i didn’t click in
so i wouldn’t know how juicy they are
sorry guys
check out issuu.com
