I've actually disabled the spam filter on my Gmail account so there's no chance it went to spam. I never got that email you mentioned.

Has anyone here donated to the OldGameMags site so they could get an account? I donated a few months ago when it was called Kiwis.World and I got an account and was able to access the downloads but recently when I tried to login to the OldGameMags site it won't recognize my login details. When I click on the forgot password link and enter my email address it says my email address is invalid. Emailed the owner but got no reply.

It's not really a 4:3 device though is it? I assume it's 16:9 but you can hold it vertically and then the aspect ratio changes to 4:3?
Would any 13 inch tablet do the job or is there something special about that iPad? What about this: Hannspree Hannspad 133 Titan 2 16GB Rockchip 2048 MB Android (13.3 inch)
It's £198.
Is there a specific display technology I should be looking for in a tablet which makes reading PDFs easier on the eyes?
Is that iPad also good for reading strategy guides?

I was planning on opening a non-profit gaming place where people can play games and read old magazines. I don't think it's a good idea to leave the magazines unprotected. I don't want the pages getting ripped.
What about A4 plastic wallets?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Westfolio-DKPPA3-Display-Sleeves-Pack/dp/B00XJDN11U/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=a3+plastic+wallets&qid=1552506493&s=officeproduct&sr=1-6

What's the best way to view PDFs of magazines on a PC? I ask because most magazines don't look good at the default fit-to-page zoom. You have to zoom in 2-3 times for it to be comfortable to read such as Edge issue 34 (July 1996) page 7 for example. Also some fonts are just ugly, are they really that ugly to read in the physical magazines and they just don't look good on a PC?
Would a 4K monitor make reading easier because you don't have to zoom in?
Are magazines even worse to read on a tablet such as an iPad?

If laminating is bad then what alternatives to laminating are there?
-
Obviously magazines are just going to degrade over time and every time a page is physically touched, it gets damaged. Has anybody laminated their magazines? How did you do it? Is there a laminating machine you can recommend and what laminates do you buy to refill the machine?
I'm thinking I can use a guillotine to cut the spine off a magazine. Then I will laminate each page one by one in the laminating machine then I will put each page in a binder.
Are there any museums such as the Centre for Computing History that have magazines on display that you can read? How do they preserve them?

Looking to buy them. Thanks

Posted
Does the torrent only contain magazines and stategy guides that were published between 2005-2020 or does it contain those things published at any time that were added to Retromags between 2005-2020?
