Reading magazines is a less-than-pleasant experience. I downloaded the free magazines that came with the Nexus 10 from Google Play Magazines, and it was extremely choppy. One magazine downloaded with only a couple minor hicups, but the other kept saying, "fetching content", and wouldn't move past that. The one magazine that did download was not fluid to read. When I turned pages, I was met with blank screens for a couple of seconds while the page loaded. This is something that my partner's ipad does flawlessly. My partner subscribes digitally to dozens of car magazines, and he downloads them and reads them flawlessly on his ipad. The Nexus 10 is definitely not as fluid as the ipad in this regard. I'm glad Google added a couple of freebies to try out before I downloaded my subscriptions to my Nexus 10.
