I have no problems using Chrome on my Android to log onto the library web site and go from there to the Zinio site. I don't recall if I needed to use my Mac initially to set things up, but I'm not sure why you would need a computer vs a tablet.

Thanks spersephone, that's what is happening here as well. (though I've yet to purchase any mags)

I also use Chrome on my iPad much of the time to peruse the magazines. Right now there's a problem in my library, their issues are suddenly behind, but still, it's free, so can't complain!

I only have one Zinio account. When I "check out" the magazine from my library, it has me log in to my one and only Zinio account. I then get confirmation emails and the magazine shows up in my Zinio app.

That's how I do it too.

Finally found it - only one of my libraries even has it. So excited!

Zinio how-to

Important:
You will need two Zinio accounts:

You need a SPL Zinio collection account to browse the library’s magazine collection and add titles to your account.
You also need a Zinio.com account for reading magazines online or delivering those magazines to a Zinio Reader app on your computer or mobile device. (Your Zinio.com account can include free library magazines, and also ones purchased directly from Zinio.com.)

(You can use the same username/password for these two accounts.)

That first link (SPL Zinio) is the RB Digital login I referred to. But I've only got a single Zinio account.

Cool

A bunch of my libraries have it.

But you have to set it up in order to borrow.

spersephone · 10-11-2013, 08:23 PM

Yes, but they are two different types of accounts. You don't set up two accounts direct from the Zinio homepage, just one for standard Zinio usage, the other one "merges" with it.

Figures. People up there are just soggy in the brain!

I spent a year and a half at Fort Lewis. I know how much it rains!

No one here ever said that.
