Zinio takes a number of popular real world magazines, scans’em in, and sells paperless online versions of them for a few bucks a pop. They’ve got a fairly hefty selection, offering everything from Organic Gardening magazine to the slightly less work friendly Penthouse.

They just started rolling out an iPhone optimized version of their service, currently covering 20 different magazines. The ideal part? Where as the Computer version will set you back a few bucks per issue, iPhone users can browse through the mags for free — for the time being, at least. No word yet whether this will stay free - so be sure to check it out while the gettins good.

You can check it out at: http://www.zinio.com/iphone

The available magazines:

• U.S News and World Report
• Playboy
• Saveur
• Popular Photography
• Men’s Health
• Kiplinger’s
• Popular Mechanics
• Penthouse
• Viv
• Car and Driver
• Personal computer Magazine
• Elle
• Technology Review
• Outside
• Macworld UK
• Esquire UK
• NME
• Lonely Planet
• Macworld Español
• Reader’s Digest

While there probably isn’t any question which two magazines will be the most popular, I’m pretty sure they wont be Kiplinger’s and Viv.
