Wink Downloadable Amiga Magazines.

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?

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.

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 site, which carries HTML-ised reviews from magazine scans.

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 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?
