Magazines now available on Google Newsstand for Android

Users of Android-powered devices, smartphones and tablets, can now easily access magazines and newspapers using the Google Play Newsstand. This is an upgrade of the existing Google Play Magazines app that has been available in Canada. It is going directly up against Apple Newsstand and Next Issue Media (including Next Issue Canada).

Among the magazine singles and subs available are Better Homes & Gardens, The Economist, Esquire, Fast Company, Forbes, Game Informer, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Shape, TIME, Vanity Fair and WIRED. There are something like 1,900 free and paid, full-length publications.
