Oh thanks for clearing that up.
Luckily I only subscribed to the latest issue, not a year, rather
disappointing though isn't it.
Do you know if there is a list of what is or isn't readable for voiceover,
or any way of knowing before a magazine is purchased.

As far as I understand the situation newstand is fully accessible with
voiceover, the problem is with the format the publishers choose to upload
their journals in - the vast majority of them have decided to go for images
of the print versions - very kind of them I'm sure but as much use as a
chocolate teapot to us.
Apple are not very happy with the publishers so perhaps there might be a
change in the future but please don't hold your breath - these are
publishers we are talking about.

voiceover was turned off, but I just got the error sound, not sure if it was
just a bad choice of magazine here, or if they are all the same.
