<div dir="ltr">There's one change taken place since I wrote the first emails re the eMagazines. It was possible to read the magazines via the Zinio web site. Now it is not. If you have Windows, Mac or Android there is a Zinio app that you can download to view the magazines. However, if you have Linux there is no app. I was disgruntled and wrote top complain about it. I got a reply but it was not at all satisfactory. So, now I have to read on my phone.<div style>

complicated, as you have found out yourself, due to the fact that you need to register twice: once for Bradford Libraries Zinio account, and then once for a Zinio account to manage your own titles. </span></div><div style="background-color:transparent">
