What will happen to the RBdigital magazine service?

At the end of February 2021, RBdigital will be shutting down its digital magazine service.

Will RBdigital titles be available elsewhere?

Yes! We will be adding most titles from RBdigital (e.g. New Yorker, Newsweek) to the Flipster  digital magazine service. You'll also find hundreds of magazines from all around the world at PressReader .

For a selection of Asian-language magazines, please use Kono Digital  (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) or Qikan (Chinese).
