To my mind a significant part of the value proposition for the Kindle edition is you don't have to do anything and it just gets delivered to the device.

ah yea this was going to be my follow-up to the post you replied to, can I use the library app(s) (Overdrive, Libby, Axis, etc) to subscribe to new editions of these mags as they arrive at the library?

...the obvious answer from a business standpoint is of course for the magazines to not allow this, but I'm not going to remember to go look at some edition

Libby does have a smart tags feature that can be used to alert you about new magazines [1]. (Libby is the library app developed by Overdrive.)

> Can I be notified when new magazine issues are available?

> Yes! You can use a "Notify Me" smart tag in Libby to get a notification when new issues of a magazine are available at your library.
