Newsstand Won't Display Subscriptions without Wifi on iPad Mini?

I have a 16GB iPad mini with wifi and I have two subscriptions on Newsstand. I've already downloaded the latest issues when I was connected to my wifi at home. I had hoped to be able to view my subscriptions while commuting to work, but every time I try to open a magazine, it tries to open and then just shuts down. I don't seem to have this problem when I am at home or work and connected to wifi. So I guess my question is, do I have to be connected to a wifi signal in order to read magazines that I've already downloaded? This has never been the case with my 3rd generation iPad, so I find it hard to believe that this would change with the mini. I'm almost certain that I was able to do this up until this week when I updated to iOS 6.1.

Does anyone have any insight into this?

Note that while some magazines have released fixes for this (e.g. US Vanity Fair app is now at V3.9 released Feb 12 2013 which explicitly says it contains a fix for this problem) others have NOT (e.g. UK Vanity Fair app which is still at V2.9.0.17.63646 released Nov 28 2012). Looks like some of us are going to have to wait a bit longer to return to reading our purchases offline....

Thank you. My stuff - US editions - are working fine now. Hope someone calls Conde Nast to urge them to fix international editions.
