Saving Trees, only how?

A few time ago I’ve searched for services, that provides me a pay-per-click selection of well-known magazines for reading them digitally and by that save paper/trees/money. Yet, I’ve found out Zinio to be one of the better known sites providing exactly such a service, so I’ve just registered an account and already subscribed to some free-of-charge issue of a magazine. The registration process was pretty simple, nothing special. After I subscribed to the issue, I receive a mail though, which was written in I guess spanish. I’ve checked my profile and saw that I had chosen Germany as country and English as language. Hm, very strange.

Anyway, after that, I wanted to take a look at the Reader Zinio provides for the Mac desktop, so I just downloaded and installed it. Before the installation finished, I had to enter my account info (e-mail, password) and so I did. Unfortunately, the Zinio Reader tried to connect but failed, because of my e-mail address seemed not to be existing. I tried it a few times and checked it for typos, but everything was correctly entered.

I decided to write an e-mail to Zinio’s support. I mentioned the problems I’ve been having with the Reader and also the odd, spanish confirmation e-mail I got. Yet (after over one day), they did not answer my mail and I’m wondering whether they’re going to. I’ll just be patient. ;-)

However, does anyone know any other sites that provide the same service Zinio does? And maybe allow me to download the stuff I buy as PDF to save it on my Mac?
