Readly Summer deal. Offer only valid until the 13th of August 2019.
As a frequent traveller, the less I carry with me the better. Even in my base in London, I try not to accumulate stuff: I don't want to have a lot to move from one place to another. Not anymore.
I'm not the only one, of course. There is a whole economy based on streaming services, helping you avoid piling up CDs, DVDs, etc. Admittedly, you don't “own” these anymore, but I'm OK with it now.
And this is true for books as well.
I love the feeling of touching paper and the smell of a new book. But I simply couldn't carry my huge collection with me when I relocated from Florence to London. Therefore I adopted e-readers like Kobo and Kindle pretty soon.
I then started using tablets for work, so I ditched the e-reader for the iPad Pro. But I keep reading books in their electronic form there now.
And a couple years ago, I started doing the same with magazines.
There were 2 services I used in the beginning but soon reduced it to one, which is perfect for my needs.
Readly
I'm not going to waste time praising the service. I find it useful, and I use it on a daily basis. But it might be a complete waste of time and money to you…
The good thing, though, is that now you can try it for 2 months, spending virtually nothing and then decide.
Readly is now running a Summer deal, which lets you try the service and read their entire catalogue without limitations for 2 months. All for $0.99 or £0.99 or whatever it is in your currency.
Just use this affiliate link, register and start.
Full disclaimer: I won't receive any money from Readly, but if you decide to stick with it after the initial 2 months of this Summer deal, I will get a month free.
I used to buy loads of magazines: about Photography, Food, Travel, Design and more. And these were piling up and taking up a lot of space in my house. Now I don't have to go through it because all of them are available on my tablet.
And I even read magazines that I would have never purchased before. Or find some that can be useful for my work (like when I read all the golf magazines in order to find info for a commissioned project).
Maybe this is true for you as well, maybe not.
But it's an app I always use, so I'm glad I can offer this Summer deal to you, and I hope you'll find it useful.
Even just to read all the magazines you want from the comfort of your sunbed for just 0.99!
