Video Links Not Working - Digital Subscription

Hello.

I purchased NPhoto at a magazine shop while travelling to Ottawa, ON. I really enjoyed the magazine and opted to subscribe to the digital download through the Zinio store. I have the Reader app successfully installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (running Andriod) as well as on my Windows 7 notebook. Any updates to the app have been downloaded and installed whenever prompted.

The Zinio reader works quite well, however there appears to be no functional method for watching the Nikon Skills videos. The links, which show up as a light blue underscore in the Vinio reader, to other referenced pages within the magazine work well as do the links to www.nphotomag.com or other such web site links embedded in the digital download version of the magazine.

Am I missing something? There is a callout/annotation that says "Press this button!" and an arrow pointing to a graphic that says "WATCH OUR VIDEO!". Simple right? Not so much, as that just does not work from within the Zinio reader.

I would simply like to be able to playback the videos. It would be even better if one could download the videos for offline playback, which is what I had envisioned when subscribing as I frequently use my tablet in an offline manner while commuting by regional train. I understand that the cover attachment DVD is not available for download, though *surely* the actual videos of themselves must be available somehow. Can anyone help me out please?

Do I need to borrow my children's iPhone in order to watch these videos? When I looked on YouTube, there only seems to be 1 video posted to the N-Photo channel. Not much luck there either.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Other posts seem to identify they too can't play the videos, but no reference to a solution is within those threads. I hope that this shortcoming of an otherwise fine magazine can get fixed. Can any moderators in the forums or staff/editors at NPhoto shed some light on this?

Regards,
