Mygazines is a website that lets you read magazines, catalogs and brochures online, for free. It features an easy to use page viewer interface that lets you flip, zoom and scroll pages. An expanded thumbnail grid view is also available, to rapidly scan content. There seems to be hundreds of titles, presumably user submitted, that you can search by title or subject matter. The search levels get very refined, individual articles are also searchable by content. Added bonus -site users can make their own “Mygazines” made up of content clipped from different sources.
Though the legality of this site is in question, there is no doubt that it has potential. Kind of like the online version of browsing magazines in a book store, Mygazines could really provide a useful alternative outlet for publishers looking to reach more readers. When it’s free, your going to attract an audience. Original ads from the print version are included too, so it’s a win for advertisers as well.
