Don't know how I missed this one but it appears that most libraries now offer digital magazines to download to computer/phone/tablet, eg here's Hert's list

https://www.rbdigital.com/hertfordshirelibraries/service/zinio/landing?

Do a search for "zinio [your county]" to find it.

Good PSA - I use this and our library has Cyclist magazine which I quite like plus a few photography ones - always more to read than I have time for...

Some counties have more than others, but you can join any library you have a connection with. I work in herts so use that one.

Yeah, Sussex let's you have cycling plus from about a year ago.
The zino library app is a bit clunkier than their standard one plus the email you when a new issue is out so you can check it out feature dosent always seem to work.

North Ayrshire has Sweet FA. South Ayrshire seems to have a better selection. Glasgow has loads.

Wonder if my Glasgow library card is still active...

Hmmm, interesting; I was looking at my old library card a few days ago, thinking it had been a [i]very[/i] long time since I'd last used it, it might be time to pop up the library and re-establish my membership.
Thanks for the heads-up, that's going to be handy, I think. 😀
