I have several subscriptions to different magazines through Zinio, and pay for subscriptions or individual issues through the Zinio app; likewise, those individual issues or subscriptions are typically CHEAPER price-wise compared to print.

I reckon TIME Inc. is trying bypass Apple's cut in every possible way. So what’s the pay model for publishers who sell magazine subscriptions via the Zinio app?
