Zinio! Zinio! Zinio! Or How To Read All The Magazines


If you're like me you're probably already a Zinio fan but if you've never heard of Zinio before then I highly recommend that you give it a go. Once you do you will never look back.

Because Zinio is THE way to read all and any magazine - or at the very least a large and continually growing collection of magazines.

Missed out on an issue from a few months ago? No problem because it could be on Zinio.

Wanting to keep all the issues of your favourite mag so you can go back to them again and again? Why yes with Zinio you can keep all the issues you download for as long as you like.

Interested in saving money and the planet? With Zinio you no longer have to worry about storing that ever-growing stack of paper magazines or buying an expensive subscription because now all you need to do is go to Auckland Libraries Zinio page, browse through our collection of titles, download the issue of the title you want to your portable device (Android, iPad, iPhone, etc.) and you're good to go.

Going on holiday but not wanting to fill you holiday bag with a pile of magazines? Then Zinio is the answer. Browse, click, download and wham bam you've suddenly got room to carry all that shopping or present giving you're planning on doing.

Now I wonder how many magazines can I fit on my tablet...

Top 5 most downloaded eAudiobooks

List by Tosca

"I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves."
- E.M. Forster, Two Cheers for Democracy, 1951

We have eBooks! Those of you who haven't explored our website to that depth, yet (I have faith you will), will find those two previous eBook-related posts here and here. What you may not know is that we also have eAudiobooks. An eAudiobook is a fancy pants name for an audiobook that you can download and listen to on your pc (or mobile device). Our eBooks and eAudiobooks are referred to on our website as 'downloadable media.' If you've never downloaded an eAudiobook before it can be a teensy bit confusing, so make sure you read through both the General FAQs and the eAudiobook FAQs before you start. Feel free to check out the Guided tour - a self-paced online tour to browsing, downloading, and listening to eAudiobooks - as well. And, as usual, if you have any questions - ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL - email me! Today's list: Our top 5 most downloaded eAudiobooks :)
