What am I am doing wrong?This site is getting crushed due to this user agent trick -- a lot of sites are talking about this work-around. I'm not surprised people are having trouble with it...

The site comes up there is just no link to magazines. I can click on the main zino page but all you get is free short page previews not entire magazines.

After you change to iphone in the safari developer window,
then type in www.Zinio.com/iphone into the safari browser manually and the magazine icons will show up.

Is there a way to view older issues of the magazines?

Here's what I did to make it work on FF. First off, I added the add-on called User Agent Switcher. Get it here. Restart FF, go to Tools/User Agent Switcher/Options/Options. Add a new User Agent. Under Description use "iPhone", under Agent, use "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/4A102 Safari/419 (United States)" Do not include the quotes. Then when you want to visit the link, just switch your user agent to the iPhone mode and switch back when you're doing your normal browsing.

They must've changed this recently. I remember reading a Feb issue of PC Mag in April there.

Hmm, must be clicking the arrow over and over again but never paid attention to the amount of ads in magazines these days

sc0rpio said:Here's a tip to browse the pages faster (using FF):
- After selecting a mag, click a page where you want to start reading
- Click the right arrow (from the top or bottom, doesn't matter) with the mouse once
- Use the 'Enter' key to turn the pages
- Use the page up/down keys to scroll the page

To go to the previous page, press Shift+Tab then Enter. Press Tab to position it back to the right arrow.

Reading these are much faster on FF than on iPhone, even with wifi.

cool watched playboy in like 1 minute

or what else is this trick good for?

Agreed. This is slow even on wired broadband. It must be downright painful on an actual iPhone.

Thanks OP. This is great. It pops up pretty quickly on edge, but after a few pages kills the browser. I'd rather browse magazines on a desktop anyway though.
