I found this Website a few days ago http://amiga.treasureland.net/, from here there are a few Amiga Magazines in the PDF Format which you can download.
This is the first site I have ever come across where you can download entire magazines, does anybody know of any similar Sites?
:confused

It's a pretty good read, and very well put together.... hopefully issue 3 will be out soon and it'll be fab (and not just because I write for it now, honest!).
There's also a site that has a few issues of Amiga Power to download, but I can't remember the address right now. I think it's amigapower.co.uk or amigapower.com. Well worth a look.

Yeah I know that site, y'know in the early nineties I used to own an awful lot of Amiga Magazines but over the years, I rather stupidly discarded them.
I'm trying to find articles from CU Amiga, Amiga Format and Amiga Shopper as they were my favourite magazines, I used to read them all the time.
http://www.deadwoodinc.net/amigan/acar/ has scans of "Australian Commodore Review" and "Australian Amiga Review"
Forgot to add: not a site and not an Amiga only mag, but on emule/edonkey network there are issues 1-126 of "Computer and Video Games" in pdf format

Great Stuff, well done thor.
I've just downloaded one of those Austrailian Mags, I'm now going on emule.
I'm now going on emule.
If you do, it's probably better to download the 2 big (a 2GB) rar archives, I don't think all of the single pdfs are shared anymore

Okay, understood.
At the moment I'm just downloading single issues.
Y'know, they bring back a lot of memories when I read them.

Another good resource is Tim Janssen's Amiga Reviews (http://amigareviews.classicgaming.gamespy.com/) site, which carries HTML-ised reviews from magazine scans.

Man, it'de be great if we had full CU Amiga, Zero, Amiga Format collections PDF's or CBR'ed...! It'd be a great historical record.

Yes, it would be great if anybody would even bother to contribute and scan at least one page. Just that would be a historical moment.

This (http://www.amigamagazine.info) site has a pdf archive of the Italian Amiga mag "Amiga Magazine" (1988-1997). There are also cover disks that aren't in TOSEC.
Probably useful for the Italian speaking members mostly, but you can copy the text to a translator. Is there any translator that translates a whole pdf directly?

Does anyone knows a website for scans of french magazine Amiga Dream......????
Especially a special "Amiga Dream" Magazine wich deals with the 100 Best ever Amiga Games ( i think it was sold in 1994)
All games were rewiewed!!!!!
The best Amiga Game Bible for me ;)
But when i have let my house, i've just send my amiga magazines to trash :( ...., so i don't have it anymore....

Sadly it's all too easy to suggest somebody else do the work rather than yourself! Why don't you scan and archive the magazines?

Point well taken and I've thought about that myself, but I'm in college right now and busy as hell. Not to mention I only have like 3 or 4 issues. But I do have Acrobat Professional so technically I could do it...

I am looking for Amiga Action and Amiga Format scans - all issues?
Mayme anybody has it on DVD discs?
Or if anyone will borrow them to me I can scan them in 300 dpi and make PDFs for all Amiga fans!
