<div dir="ltr">Further to my quest to get Bradford Libraries to have Linux titles on Zinio:<div><br></div><div>When I wrote to Pete Walker about getting some Linux titles, on Bradford Libraries Zinio, I also mentioned the Raspberry Pi ran on Linux and that there would be many teachers who would welcome some Linux provision from that viewpoint.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, we've only got one magazine title but also a Linux book and a Raspberry Pi book.</div><div><br></div><div>Here's the content of the email I received:</div><div><br></div><div>...............................</div>
<div><div>Hi Brian</div><div> </div><div>We are pleased to announce that we now have a subscription to</div><div> </div><div>Linux Format</div><div>Linux: The Complete Manual 2nd ed.</div><div>Raspberry Pi for Beginners Mag Book</div>
<div> </div><div>via our Zinio Service.</div><div> </div><div>Hope you enjoy these new additions.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Pete Walker</div><div>Development Officer - Digital Services</div><div>Bradford Libraries </div>

To get one of those you will need go to a Bradford Library with proof of your identity and a recent bill showing your name and address.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Then create an account on BOTH of these sites with the same email address but, preferably, different passwords.</div><div><div><br></div></div><div>1. <a href="http://gb.zinio.com/">http://gb.zinio.com/</a></div>
<div>2. <a href="https://www.rbdigital.com/Bradford/service/zinio/landing">https://www.rbdigital.com/Bradford/service/zinio/landing</a>?</div><div><br></div><div>For the smoothest experience siign into (1) first , then (2), and choose your magazines in (2) - The Bradford Libraries Zinio Web Site.</div>
<div>Once chosen that will take you onto the main Zinio (1) site.<br></div><div><br></div><div>You'll need to install Zinio on your phone/tablet or install it under 'Adobe Air' on your Linux distro.</div><div>
As regards the latter, I did get Zinio to work on Ubuntu base 12.04, with a bit of fiddling. Let me know if you have 12.04, and want to install it on there, and I'll send you my Tomboy note on it, which should ease the process. However, I have not yet succeeded on 14.04. I got it to install but it didn't load anything.</div>
<div>Magazines are also viewable on the main Zinio web site - just click on the magazine image.</div><div><br></div><div>Oh what complication DRM brings !</div><div><br></div><div>Happy reading!</div><div><br></div><div>Brian</div>
