Amazon is trying to sell you magazines on the iPad. The latest update to the Kindle app for iPad now has a newsstand for reading Kindle Fire magazines, a built-in PDF reader, and slickly designed text book replicas.
Barnes and Noble’s NOOK app for Android has been optimised for 7-inch and larger tablets to take advantage of the added real estate and high definition screens. The update also adds access to over 140 NOOK Newsstand titles, the largest selection of digital periodicals available to Android users.
