Digital MMM (1 Viewer)

[Johnhc]

Just rehoused my back copies of MMM going back to 2013 and then read about the digital versions on which you can access archive articles going back to 2012. To me it seems a no brainer, especially as it appears that access is available anywhere, no more heavy mags to lug around. So has anyone subscribed yet and what is the verdict, worth it or not?

I’ve changed from a paper to a digital subscription for the magazine, but unless I’m misunderstanding I’d have to pay a significant extra cost for digital copies of magazines I’ve already paid for in paper form? Ain’t going to happen- I don’t look at old copies often enough.

Not seen an MMM for many years got bored with them repeating the same stuff & 75% of it being adverts.

How much s it ? Consider Readly at £7.99 per month and you can share the subscription with 5 friends MMM is on Readly along with other motorhome and campervan mags and 0000,s of other mags on every subject under the sun.

I don’t really like reading a magazine on my iPad (Sorry Jim), it just feels the wrong format.
I get the magazines when they do an offer but sometimes I forget to cancel the bank mandate and get full charged. Years ago I started pulling out the travel logs and filing them away, throwing the rest of the mag away. They aren’t as useful as you might think, the articles are flowing prose about what it feels like rather useful stuff about where to park the bloody Motorhome. Nice pictures though and I do remember to take the relevant pages with me when we venture somewhere.
I think I now learn more from Motorhome Fun and You tubers travel logs, many use “what three words” and I try to make notes of places to visit and yes where to park the bloody Motorhome.

On readly you can only see the back issues of MMM since they joined it, which was about 6 months ago. But Readly always show you 2 years of back issues,

I used to be the same, but now given the choice to read a magazine or the Sunday papers in ink or digital I choose digital every time. So much better.

I'm the same only read about 4 of the Fun mags but I'm the other way round with books. I was given a book at Christmas found it awkward to read where as I read 2 to 3 books a week on my Kindle.

Why waste money on any magazine? You can always find out what you want to know with a targetted approach on the internet rather than ploughing through pages of stuff of no interest.

Some interesting comments. I have a digital daily paper so am quite used to the format, I download it on to a Fire 7, which is where I would download MMM. Personally I rather like the idea of the archive as, when I do my small amount of planning for a European journey, I find it useful to have an idea of where to head for and what to visit. Currently I take relevant MMM articles in a folder and sometimes refer to them on route, having them available digitally would save the clutter. Some of you mentioned Readly, what is it as I've never heard of it, what does it cost? I agree about the Fun Mag but it is a very young magazine and therefore is currently limited in its archive content.

Another here who prefers the MMM magazine in hard copy rather than digital also better for sharing it afterwards with friends who then hand it back when there finished with it.

Just tried to download the MUM app on to my Fire 7 but it doesn't recognise the search request, downloaded it onto my phone 8/9 months ago. Suggestions anyone
