I 'm concerned about the prices and how well they work.

For apps, which is better for reading on a tablet? Do they both accept paypal?

i don't use magzter, so i can't give you a comparison. the android app for zinio is fine, but can be better when compared (unfairly) to apps like play newsstand and clipboard. i much prefer using it on the desktop/web just for the bigger screen estate.

One blog (goodereader.com) mentioned that magzter will actually share your email with the publishers as an incentive for publishing with them. Wow, that's a big no-no, imo. That's a blatant disregard of users' privacy. Will not use magzter.

Magzter is eager to trade some vital user statistics in return which can be hard for the publishers to ignore. What Magzter is willing to divulge is not only how many users are actually reading which magazines, but also the email addresses of those who are reading.
Magzter, the Future Zinio of Digital Magazine Publishing?

What I don't know is whether zinio does the same.
