Disclaimer: the only iMag I read is Nat Geo.
The original post and your response triggered some thoughts.
1. What if magazines abandoned their traditional chunked delivery and instead delivered article by article? That brings them closer to the blog format, while keeping download times small enough for quick loads. It would also permit the mags to deliver articles first in digital form before they get to print, which might be worth paying extra for in some cases.
2. Would an Amazon-like "people who read this article also read these" recommendations based on anonymized stats be valuable? ... particularly across different "article streams"?
3. How about builtin "letters to the editor/author" that they can republish? Perhaps video/audio forms of feedback?
4. News and analysis mags can push polls about hot issues as a single card?
5. Across-the-board scrapbook feature? One of the things I miss from the paper world is to cut pages and keep them in a collection. Damn! Been a long while since I did that!
6. A "zoomin to expand detail" interface that you can use to skim articles.
edit: fixed typos.
