Am I alone, or does anyone else think the Newsstand service is severely lacking? I'm willing to bet that most of us purchased the Presto service for elderly parents. Some are home-bound. Some are in assisted living. Some are in a care home.
They're not very active, don't travel much, don't do big gardening projects, don't do home improvement projects. They couldn't care less about celebrity gossip or astrology. Crosswords are too hard, Sudoku is a mystery.
Yet - most of the Newsstand content is geared to the above. Huh??? Who does Presto think they serve??? Most of their content seems appropriate for those in their 60's, still very active, and online. A MAJOR disconnect in my opinion.......
For example, when I first set up the machine, it printed out 2 FULL PAGES WITH PICTURES from Better Homes and Gardens/50+ The Right Way on makeup tips to make your skin look fabulous! I don't think my 83 year old mother would be interested in that, LOL! I immediately canceled that subscription.
But the Newsstand options are very limited for Presto's demographic........ That's my only beef with the service, but it's an important one!!
Oh, and I forgot to add that they don't cook much anymore, nor travel to Europe, LOL!
