More and more magazines are creating digital versions of their paper offerings, and many use Zinio Reader to deliver these to you.

Zinio offers everything you would expect from a PDF, plus a bit more. For starters, pages are turned just as they are in a paper magazine, and links abound throughout the copy.

For example, click on a link on the contents page and you are taken directly to the relevant article.

The reader is free and comes with a sample magazine (not a real title) to give you an idea of its features.

Version 3 is an improvement on previous versions, with both the reader and magazines being much smaller to download. It also comes with a new interface, complete with integrated search. This lets you search a single document or your entire magazine archive.

Numerous magazines are available via subscription, including our own titles IT Week, PCW, Computeractive and PC Magazine.
