Texture (a relaunch of Next E-Magazine) is the best online reading network I have seen. I call it a network simply because it offers the reader a plethora of written material from a vast body of magazines. I even like the name, although an e-format, the word itself conjures up tactile images of getting close enough to touch it. I know it is not like holding a magazine, but it is also not like touching dog-eared or torn pages, missing content, a place to spill your coffee, a tool to swat flies with etcetera… You get the picture, remember your last dentist visit.
In contrast, with Texture, it is collection of over a 100 magazines in one application. You can search articles, get back issues, you can download content and read offline and view amazing digital content. Great for yourself are definitely cool as a gift.
With Texture, there are two plans available, basic and premium. With the basic plan you get an all access pass to monthly magazines (140 + titles and growing). Titles like National Geographic, Car and Driver, Better Homes and Gardens. Also includes all back issues, able to load on 5 devices per plan (desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, e-readers). With the premium edition you get all this plus unlimited access to weekly magazines. Titles such as Billboard, Sports Illustrated, Time, The New Yorker, Entertainment Weekly. When you start the plan you currently get first 30 days free. It is a month to month plan and you can cancel anytime (but hey, why would you, this is amazing stuff). For me, the premium plan is the way to go.
In my work as a publisher, it is an invaluable tool for my content research. A quick way to search and link article threads for my trending statistics. I know that one can search the net, article by article, but with Texture all this e-content is at your fingertips.
Texture is also great as gifts, the kind of thought provoking action that people will remember.
So what's next for Next (oops I mean Texture). I would not be surprised to see a roll-out of multi-user formats which would allow schools a valuable tool in media studies. Offering visitors in dentist/doctors offices a complimentary glance at the product. Who knows where it will take us Next (Texture).
I will finish off with one of my favourite quotes:
"It's not about how much you know, it's that you're willing to learn"
So try Texture today, you will immediately see the value it offers and the enjoyment it brings. Check it out at:
