Reader’s Digest Now Available for iPad

[Waqas 48]

Reader’s Digest is the latest magazine to arrive in Apple’s App Store.

Beginning with the September issue, existing U.S. print subscribers can get six months of free access to the magazine’s iPad edition [iTunes link] by entering their credentials.

After that, they’ll need to sign up for digital subscription, available for $1.99 per month or $14.99 per year. (Non-print subscribers can also get the digital edition at that price.) Single issues are available for $1.99 apiece.

Reader’s Digest published an experimental version of its February issue for the iPad earlier this year, which was pretty decent as far as iPad versions go — nicely formatted with a few bonus games and polls, etc. This, however, marks the beginning of a regular publishing cycle on the device.

Reader’s Digest North America President Dan Lagani says he hopes to bring more Reader’s Digest brands to the iPad via subscription — both in the U.S. and internationally — in the near future. (Reader’s Digest also publishes magazines such as Every Day With Rachael Ray.) Reader’s Digest is already available on the Kindle, Nook and BlackBerry Playbook, a spokesperson confirmed.
