Gone are the days of skulking sheepishly in the back corner of a newsagency when you want to read for free. Mag Nation respects your right to loiter. In fact, they encourage it with an unlimited reading time policy, comfy chairs and free wireless.

They have a very healthy understanding of how people operate, you see, and concede that magazines are perhaps not an absolute necessity of life. So, where some vendors might view themselves as in competition with, say, other shops, Mag Nation understands that it's actually things like sex, Sunday afternoon picnics and Facebook that are their real rivals. So they aim to make your experience there as enjoyable as possible.

Following in the footsteps of its Melbourne and Kiwi brothers, the Sydney store will carry about 4000 niche titles over the course of a year, and there are plans in the works for a cafe around Christmas time.

All evidence points to awesome. And, according to their website, "All the girls who work at Mag Nation are gorgeous. All the boys have big schlongs."
