The offer is a value-add for members of Club VAIO, an internet forum for VAIO users which also provides automatic driver updates, technical support, exclusive desktop wallpapers and promotional offers.

"As the global leader for digital-publishing products and services, we are proud to collaborate with VAIO from Sony, which also is a pioneering leader in its industry," said Rich Maggiotto, President & CEO, Zinio.
Starting today, customers who register for VAIO products will be introduced to Zinio's service via a click-through prompt to sonyvaio.goreadgreen.com, as well as read about the program in the next Club VAIO newsletter, which reaches more than two million monthly unique visitors.
