Current magazines and their back issues can be browsed and streamed on computers or downloaded in apps for Android™ phones and tablets, Apple® phones and tables, and Kindle Fire tablets. Titles include Consumer Reports, Newsweek, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, and many others.

Back issues are available in addition to the current issue.

The Flipster desktop viewer (on desktop computers and laptops) enhances the digital magazine reading experience with these accessibility features:

  • Use the keyboard to navigate and “flip” magazine pages
  • Hear the magazine content read out loud by a screen reader through the use of compatible alt text and plain texts
  • Load a text-only view of articles for better screen-reading and text manipulability
