Zinio - All Magazines in One Place

Zinio offers more than 5,500 publications, accessible via smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Zino offers users a few different subscription options, mostly at a discounted price. On top of paid publications, Zinio also gives access to a number of free articles without a subscription, allowing users to discover new content without any commitment.

Public libraries are so awesome. They let you borrow not only physical books, DVDs, and the like, but also digital content like e-books and audiobooks.

And, now, digital magazines, too. Many libraries have partnered with Zinio to offer e-zines you can check out and read on a variety of devices.

Next, visit your local library's Web site (via your desktop browser, not any of the Zinio apps) to see if there's any mention of Zinio. If so, you'll need your library card number and password to get through the registration process, which should be accessible via that site. The process typically involves creating an account with RB Digital, the service that manages magazine loans for libraries.


With that done, check your inbox for an activation e-mail from RB Digital. It should include a link that verifies your account; click it to open your browser, then look for a link that says "Return to Login."
