You can't download it directly from the Amazon app. Store... yet. So what you have to do is go to the ZINIO website on your FIRE - NOT ON YOUR COMPUTER. Once at the Zinio website. In the upper right hand corner, locate the HELP tab. Click on the HELP tab to find directions for downloading and installing the app to/on your FIRE. From here on it's pretty easy.

From McDonald's Monopoly I peeled off the sticker and it said a 3 month subscription to Zinio. I chose the It girl mag for Oct, Nov and Dec. I have already got Oct and Nov. They are really good and interesting. But one con, it sent me an email and gave me a $10 voucher but I can't use it.

I recently purchased a new android phone which included a $50 voucher for Zinio. I followed all of the instructions and submitted my request for the magazines and received a message that I would get an e-mail in 24 to 72 hours when the magazines were loaded and ready to view. The only e-mail I ever got was one trying to sell me more magazines.
I then called the tech support # in the brochure and got a recorded message that there were no tech reps manning the phones at this time. From there I tried the chat with tech support feature and received a message that the problem could not be resolved using the chat feature and the session was terminated.
In short, I'm stuck with a $50 voucher that doesn't work and no means of tech support.

Awhile back I got a free subscription to a Sound and Vision on Zinio for my laptop and I rarely ever used it. I didn't really see a need for it and I wasn't sure who would buy a subscription to a magazine for a laptop as it was so much easier to read a real version of it. 2 years later someone gifts me an ipad for my bday and Now I see the beauty of Zinio. I don't want any more paper magazine subscriptions... I only want digital downloads via Zinio... they even have ipad interactive content.
