Digital magazine newsstand are already giving us the feel and simplicity of accessing new magazines online or via app store channels. This process will continue to evolve as existing digital publishing vendors provides newsstand stores for accessing free and paid mobile and tablet magazine editions.

Zinio has always been a leader in the presentation of an online digital newsstand and app store newsstand. And a few of the major digital magazine edition production solutions have launched online digital magazine newsstands:

Zinio – The Zinio digital magazine newsstand for desktop-pc/mac and iPhone, iPad, Andriod reader apps makes this one of the most accessible digital newsstands available. An elegant preview capability in the reader apps plus the special magazine offers and previews make this app and newsstand a top leader.

Coverleaf – The Coverleaf digital newsstand is focused on presentation of digital magazines and allows the publisher participants to sell access. The Coverleaf Newsstand is a service of Texterity and features their clients on this newsstand platform.

Nxtstand – Nxtbook media launched a newsstand branded into their own digital magazine edition solution marketing site with again the titles or publishers producing issues within their digital publishing platform.

Qmags – Qmags newsstand and digital edition service actually launched with a focus of presenting the digital newsstand as a worldwide digital magazine newsstand but again is focused on clients of the Qmags service.

MagApps – This site was launched to focus on the core new magazine apps and tablet editions and is open for all new apps. The site will be transitioned shortly into a publisher open newsstand but again is focused on magazine apps and not all digital magazine channels.

Here’s a look at what your digital newsstand of the future will look like in the future – or probably just around the corner. I’d expect that the major magazine publisher groups will scramble to get their branded kiosks in major traditional magazine and newspaper newsstand locations in the very near future.
