Nomad Editions Announces Support for Apple Newsstand

NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nomad Editions, the new media company producing first-of-their-kind digital weekly publications for iPad, announced all five of its current titles—Uncorked, Real Eats, BodySmart, Good Dog and Wide Screen—are now available on Newsstand, a key feature of iOS 5. 

Newsstand is an exciting new feature that allows consumers to find digital newspaper and magazine products in one dedicated place on the App Store, and organize them in one easy-to-organize bookshelf. Users who purchase Nomad Editions subscriptions will receive new issues automatically on their iPad. Latest issues and most recent cover art will simply appear in Newsstand. 

Subscriptions to each magazine cost 99 cents per month for four weekly issues or $9.99 per year.

Since Nomad Editions officially launched in January of this year, it has been at the forefront of the digital magazine revolution, creating digital-only magazines with original content created by a team of established and respected editors and journalists. Two of their most popular titles include BodySmart, edited by John Hastings, former Health Editor for O, The Oprah Magazine, and Uncorked, a "wine magazine for the rest of us" edited by Stephen Yafa, renowned Segue Cellars winemaker and author of the book Cotton: The Biography of a Revolutionary Fiber.

"Newsstand is going to have a major impact on digital magazine subscriptions," said Mark Edmiston, former President of Newsweek and CEO of Nomad Editions. "By being there at launch, we are reaffirming that although we're a young company, we're at the forefront of a significant shift from print to digital media. The way content is accessed and consumed is evolving, and Newsstand provides Nomad Editions and other digital content developers a vibrant marketplace in which to do business. This not only benefits the publisher but aids the reader to find exactly the content they want."
