Is there a way to read magazines on the edge? I see that there is a link to magazines, but I don't see where I can download them.

Just choose the magazine and click on the download link, then you'll get a pop up window with the link e.g. from depositfiles. It seems to me they're free.

I tried that several times.....all I get is a pop up window with an ad every time I click the download button....I even rebooted my computer and tried Firefox to no avail. I don't have to download dirrectly to the edge do I? I use a windows pc for the Forums. (Big Screen, Wireless Keyboard, Comfortable bed.)

Hi Jon. I think I see what you're doing. When you click on a magazine picture in a page showing all the magazine covers, you get to a detail page for the magazine issue. At the top is a big "Download" button, which pops up an ad. Not what you'd expect, right?
Well, scroll down the page a bit to below the magazine cover image (on this detail page), and you'll see "Download Links" in a box, with "DepositFiles.com" and "Hotfile.com" listed. Those are the download links (well, they'll take you to another page where you can wait and download slowly for free, or sign up for immediate and fast downloads (I'm wary of signing up, as I think these sites may be somewhat "greysites"). |

Thanks Boris, I didn't notice the hotlinks there.......I guess I was tired! I did look for other download buttons though so I guess I just looked too quickly. Anyway worked great this time.
However, I still wonder how legal this is.....these are commercial and recent magazines....I couldn't find anything on the site that tells how they are able to do this. Thanks again, Jon |

I'd gladly pay for PDF magazine subscriptions if the publishers offered them for Adobe Digital Editions...
