I am a writer and I just had my first article published by an iPad only digital magazine, Photography Masterclass. ( it comes out it the Feb. issue, not yet published)
I do not have an iPad and wish to see the magazine. I contacted the magazine and they said I must have an iPad to view it, that it is only available on the iPad.
Is there some kind of a work-a-round? I have spent a couple of hours trying to find a way, but I am not a computer geek, so I am just wasting time exploring dead ends. I have the magazine downloaded to my computer but can not open it – I keep getting wrong format messages.
Any help would be most appreciated. I would like to view the magazine on my home PC with Windows and Internet Explorer.
I have already registered with iTunes and the magazines are listed there under APPs.

January 18, 2013Try using a iPad Emulator:
http://code.google.com/p/ipadian/ – looks interesting
http://alexw.me/ipad2/ – a simulator?
http://ipad-emulator.org/ – I think this is really a simulator with no particular iOS functionality.

January 22, 2013Perhaps changing the user-agent of your browser can fix this: in Internet Explorer, press F12 and click “F12 Developer Tools”. Once the developer tools pane opens up, click the Tools menu -> Change user agent string -> Custom.
Friendly name: iPad (or whatever you want)
User Agent String: Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B334b Safari/531.21.10
Then click add, activate the user agent string “iPad” (or whatever you named it) then try it out.
