Read magazines online for free
By Anita |
There’s no catch here. You don’t even have to sign up and give them your email address. Mygazines is a collection of magazines that you can read online. Most popular magazines are available here and they are uploaded by readers. Even though many magazines provide their content for free on their own websites, you usually can’t access the current issue until the next month. But at Mygazines you can find all the current issues.
The interface is pretty cool: with the mouse you can click on a page corner and simulate the turning of a page. The magazines are scanned so it’s similar to a hard copy version of the magazine.
Very often I notice a cover story on a magazine while in the checkout line at the grocery store but don’t want to pay $5 for the magazine just to read the article. So this has come in handy.
I don’t know if they will run into copyright difficulties. In their press release they say they have, “full intentions to work with the industry, with the aim of fortifying the future of all those either directly or indirectly supported by the production, sales and distribution of magazines.” At any rate, so far so good.
