Instead of just offering text and maybe one picture like the Kindle app, you see the magazine laid out just as it is in the print version. I prefer the magazine reading experience here as well. Brightness controls are right within the app as well. Change the background, font, and highlights to a wide range of colors, then save as a theme. You can also change the color scheme to minimize eye-strain. Users can choose different fonts, line spacing, and margins.
