    Many public libraries offer this too. I know my local does - pretty much the same way.

  • kimba88 on 14/04/2020 - 11:52

    I live in nsw.. It asks for a Victorian address.. I want to access choice magazine for toaster reviews. Can anyone help please?

    • Wolfy on 14/04/2020 - 11:54

      The joining process has a 3 week time frame for you to confirm your address, during this time access is allowed.

      • Transparent on 14/04/2020 - 14:20

        Works instantly for Flipster, all you need is the number that is immediately given to you. You don't need to wait for 3 weeks.

    • Not Applicable on 14/04/2020 - 11:55

      If you give an address of any building in Melbourne it should work, try the library?

      • kimba88 on 14/04/2020 - 12:01

        OK, got it. Thank you.
        The address of the library worked.
        How do I find toaster reviews now?

        • captaincabinets on 14/04/2020 - 13:44

          As per post below, IIRC after much messing around I realised there was a master list near the start of the magazine. So more of a manual search really

  • Wolfy on 14/04/2020 - 11:53

    Thanks OP.
    I'm surprised that Choice is the only choice of Magazine one has after completing this process.

  • BargainDog on 14/04/2020 - 11:58

    Has anyone else got this issue? Registration expired: Please call one of our libraries to update your registration

    • captaincabinets on 14/04/2020 - 13:45

      I had this problem. Wolfy above explained it:

    Brisbane libraries also offer choice of Magazine via Flipster.

      Flipster is much better!

    • INFIDEL on 14/04/2020 - 13:50

      Only April 2020 issue of Choice is listed with Flipster for BCC libraries

      Tried accessing via Flipster app - didn't list any local libraries in Brisbane.

      Accessed logged in via library catalog search for Choice - showed on Flipster via ebscohost.com site

      • blinker on 15/04/2020 - 07:55

        I'm also with BCC, and saw just two Choice mags (Mar/Apr and Apr) via the Flipster app.
        When I clicked on one of them, it then showed more issues to download.

        • INFIDEL on 15/04/2020 - 08:02

          two Different Choice mags: Choice (Apr) & Choice Computer (Mar/Apr)

          Clicking on Choice title or cover in "All Magazines" (Chrome on Android) only opened the latest copy displayed. Clicking "View All" only shows 1 issue of each mag.

          The catalog showed only 1 item available for electronic version of Choice.

          Tried again with Chrome on PC- no choice of other issues for me with either Mag.

          If you could explain how you could view other issues…

  • Skramit on 14/04/2020 - 12:04

    For clarity does this give access to choice website to check reviews?

    • rickb on 14/04/2020 - 12:06

      No

      • Skramit on 14/04/2020 - 12:07

        Thanks.

  • incarnate on 14/04/2020 - 12:10

    Canberra libraries offer digital access as well:

  • jaimex2 on 14/04/2020 - 13:02

    Is there a way to search which issue has what?

    • captaincabinets on 14/04/2020 - 13:44

    • duskybay on 16/04/2020 - 00:12

      Use the web interface at this link

      This is much more functional than the mobile Flipster app and provides full key word searching across all issues.

  • PukeyLuke on 14/04/2020 - 13:28

    Can you view magazines via Windows 10 desktop/laptop or only via an Android/Apple app?
    BTW thanks for the heads up OP, nice find.

    • duskybay on 16/04/2020 - 00:08

      Yes, via this link

      The web interface is much more functional than the mobile Flipster app and provides full key word searching across all issues.

      • PukeyLuke on 17/04/2020 - 12:09

        @duskybay Oh thanks for this, I've bookmarked it!!

    is Hustler available?

  • dddddog on 14/04/2020 - 14:50

    this is great - but ONLY Choice magazine in their library? odd.
    Thought there would be a few more choices.

  • utze on 14/04/2020 - 23:04

    RBdigital collections are much better

    • fredblogs on 15/04/2020 - 09:28

      tell us more?

      A totally irrelevant & invalid (by Voting Guidelines) Neg vote.

      This Deal is only for Free Choice Magazines Online.

      Choice is not available on RBdigital.

      That's the reason for this popular Deal - it is available free on Flipster.

      So recommending RBdigital & Negging this Deal for Choice magazine is irrelevant when Choice is not available on RBdigital!

      RBdigital is good for other magazines - but other magazines is not the Deal here.

    • Wolfy on 15/04/2020 - 12:23

      RBdigital is one of the collections that you get for free under the library membership detailed here as per the post above and here: https://www.rbdigital.com/melbourne

  • tanastra on 15/04/2020 - 15:54
