eMagazines

From April 17 2018, the Zinio for Libraries app will be discontinued.

If you are still using that, you will need to download the free RBDigital app to replace it.

You won’t need to change your login or password.

Once you log in, you’ll find your existing magazines already there in the new app. If you are using a laptop or computer to read the magazines, this will stay the same.

If you need any help just contact 247library@solihull.gov.uk.

You can access the eMagazine service completely free of charge using your library card.

You can download and read full digital copies of magazines (including back issues) available from your computer, smartphone or tablet, wherever you are.

Over 60 current top-selling magazines are available, and also back issues of a range of other titles.

Magazines available include popular magazines such as Radio Times, Good Housekeeping, Esquire UK, Heat, New Scientist, the Economist Autocar and Hello, but the range includes something for all interests. You can request the service to email you when a new issue becomes available.

If you are just reading magazines downloaded from Solihull Libraries eMagazine service, the RBDigital app is available to download for Apple, Android, and Kindle Fire, which also allows for offline reading. The app can be downloaded from the eMagazine service page.

Within this App you will need to log in with the same email address and password that you joined with, and then enter the library collection Solihull Library and Information Service.
