My local library offers free Zinio subscriptions to about 20 magazines, but they're not exactly the highest-quality titles on the market. No Economist, no New Yorker, no New York Review of Books. In fact, most of them are names I've never heard of.

Hi Mike
It's free at both my libraries, and they are in different countries, one in my previous location and the other in my current location. Both have a good selection, although for obvious reasons the US library doesn't have Australian titles, or as many UK ones. For example, I use the Australian library to get New Scientist. I can certainly get The Economist - it and New Scientist are my regular weeklies. Both libraries have a pretty good selection for my tastes (science and current affairs), and it looks like a pretty broad selection overall. About 146/321 titles respectively in the US and Aus libraries I belong to. The great thing is that there are no download limits or expiry dates - download whatever you want now, read at your leisure. Previously only the current issue was available, so you had to remember to download every week/month/issue, but now they've made back issues available. My only problem is finding the time to do all this reading! Perhaps you can request your choice of titles to your library? Best of luck.
