Folks,

Is there a still a way to read single issues of bike magazines in digital format?

I'm sure a while ago, I could go into the built in Android/Apple app and purchase a *single* issue of a magazine (in this case a motorbike magazine). It seems that all the main magazine companies now have moved to a subscription model so I have to sign up for a year (or monthly) subscription to 100 magazines to get access to the few magazines I want to read. I'm generally an infrequent reader, so the idea of paying every month isn't super attractive.

Any guidance is welcome

Thanks, Ace

I believe that Redly (app) allow a 2 day free trial, then also offer an extended 2 months one that you have to sign up for (and provide your credit card details). That *may* get you access to the magazine in question.
This was a good shout - thank you!

I downloaded the library app and put in my library card details and it worked beautifully, most of the magazines I want to read are there!

Reedly subscription cancelled.

This is why I love pistonheads.
