Digital magazines are magazines electronically available to readers. It is incredibly convenient for readers to both read and store these versions. Additionally, they are healthy for the environment as no trees need to be cut down in to creation or distribution process. There are many benefits for publishers in creating digital magazines as they give the opportunity to make content more interesting with interactive content.
Digital Magazine publishing has the advantage of reaching readers beyond regional boundaries. It has become a powerful way to keep readers interest and maintain loyalty even when readers have moved to another location – you can still send your magazine to wherever readers are by providing them access to print magazine through your digital edition.

SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES INCLUDES;

1. Publishers are able to go much farther than just image and word based content. With digital magazines it is possible to include video, flash, and images which help draw in readers in a whole new way.

2. Instant Share Buttons; Users need to be able to share content directly from your magazine on to their chosen platform. This should include email, Bluetooth, Dropbox, Flipboard and all major social media platforms.

3. Advertising Opportunities; Advertising can be integrated throughout your magazine. Functionality such as click to purchase, animation and HD imagery should be harnessed.

4. Always on; Your latest issue should be automatically available without users needing to download or re-subscribe.

5. Available offline; Offline reading allows users to access your publication and content when they are not connected to wi-fi or 3G.

6. Device Independent; Your magazine needs to reach users wherever they are and regardless of what device they are using. Major mobile devices including android and iPhone, as well as tablet devices including the iPad and all Android tablets should be catered to.
