Mygazines is a website which lets you read popular print magazines online. It allows its users to upload and share their favorite magazines and hence, understandably, you’ll find even the latest issues of popular magazines like Macworld and PC Mag online. And if you’d like to read adult magazines like playboy, you can do that by signing up with them and then turning off the adult filter.

It also has a cool user interface and you can read magazines just like you’d read it in your hand, flipping through pages using the mouse button. Further it allows you easily share pages of magazines with your friends on social media. And you can create your own magazines too.

We aren’t sure if this site violates copyrights and if it does, then why it hasn’t been taken down by the big publishers yet. Make sure you read their terms carefully if you decide to sign up with them.
