I haven't had good luck with magazines. They want the screen to look as much like the printed page with pictures etc and in color so think of it as more like a picture of the color screen. The text is only a part of the picture. I wanted to subscribe to motor home magazine so I decided to buy one issue for 2 bucks to see how accessible it was. It was totally not accessible so I asked my sighted wife to see what she could see. It was she who explained it to me and when I wrote the app maker they were very nice about explaining it but basically my wife had it right. They offered to refund my 2 bucks. I told them to keep it. It wasn't about the 2 bucks. They took my name and address and to my surprise, Pixel Max actually sent me 2 bucks cash. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jesper Holten To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 4:59 AM Subject: Re: truly irritating publisher restriction on Kindle
