Want to read free digital photographic magazines?

[PeterH]

Did you know you can have free electronic access to e-Magazines through your Kent/Orpington library membership. This includes about 130 titles within which there are several art/photography magazines including Amateur Photographer.

All you have to do is download the RBdigital app on your phone/tablet, use your library card number to sign up and you have full access.

Details here: https://www.kent.gov.uk/leisure-and-community/libraries/ebooks-eaudiobooks-emagazines-enewspapers#tab-3 

Apparently you can register online for a library membership number if you haven't got one (https://www.kent.gov.uk/leisure-and-community/libraries/ebooks-eaudiobooks-emagazines-enewspapers).
 Temporary membership lasts 3 months before you have to go to a library to get full membership. This period may be extended due to the Corona virus as libraries are currently closed.

I don't think there is a catch, please tell me if you know of one.

Happy reading,

Peter

That great, thanks for that. Thanks for both links.

Now to dig out my paper membership card...

[Chris Sawyer]

Thanks Peter - I registered and now I'm enjoying Amateur Photographer.

[JanGilkes]

Thank you too. I joined the library recently but had problems working through their site so the link is great.
Finished Closer and Vogue, moving to Gardeners’ World shortly. I shall get to Amateur Photographer ......

Thanks Peter as excellent solution to isolation

Unfortunately I had to apply for temp PIN number as
Can’t find any record of library membership

Now emailed their help email as can’t access site
Tried several email addresses and nothing activated

My tip of the day being....
Apply to Amazon for limited period offer of no charge “Kindle unlimited” with loads of books with free reads plus magazines but none have any photo linked sources.

Barrie when registering make sure you use Kent Art option not Bromley.

Cheers for this Alan, double checked and was using Kent Art option.

At login box top right it asks for username plus pin, I have pin but I’am guessing username, any clues...otherwise

Waiting for someone from their office to reply

Barrie I had a problem getting it sorted. I tried on my iMac first and had that problem. I then loaded the app onto my android phone but had logged into the Kent Arts website first and checked my account. I changed my pin to just 4 numbers which seems to be what the app prefers.

I then loaded the app and logged into it successfully on my phone. Once this worked I downloaded the app onto my iPad and logged in using my phone details.

I haven't managed or bothered since to get the thing working on the iMac.

I have downloaded a garden mag but have started to listen to The Beekeeper's Apprentice.

Not bothered with the iMac. Don't find it so comfortable reading or listening with it in bed...
