I have been subscribing to Readly (digital magazine reading platform) for a couple of years now – a large & varied selection of magazines (with a couple of years of back issues) available to download to my tablet to read off line. No option to print them off as far as I can see, but I use it along the lines of "The WH Smith Reading Room" to catch up with quite a few magazines that I used to subsribe to & would probably not buy but like to browse.

The number of available publications is constantly increasing & I noticed yesterday the "Engineering in Miniature" has now appeared on the list (didn't realise that EIM was now a Warner's publication). What are the chances that My Time Media witth get involved to bring their magazines to a wider audience ? MTM already have a presence on Magzter Gold – a similar service at similar cost – but many of the publishers who appear on Magzter also appear on Readly, so the platforms do not appear to be mutually exclusive.

Maybe something that Neil could raise with MTM ? I'm not sure of the commercial arangements, but understand that the pubilsher gets some payment for the magazines when they are downloaded / read + more exposure for the advertisers.
