Best of luck to them. I will, however, share this work around I found a few
months ago. I was looking around my library's website and found that they
now have what they call an eNewstand. They subscribe to magazines through a
vender called Zinio. Zinio scans print magazines, ad pages and all, and
inserts hyperlinks to URLs in stories and ads and also "continued on
page..." notes when a story jumps to the rear pages. To download and read
these magazines you need an app called Zinio for Libraries (there is a
generic Zinio app, but that's for subscriptions you buy from their website).

My local library, the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, subscribes to over
100 magazines including the major ones. I just checked and they do not have
the Time, Inc magazines so a reader would have to make do with Newsweek,
The Economist, The Atlantic, etc. There is no limit on the number of issues
you can download and no time limit. I assume that Time, Inc will exempt
links from social media from their reading limit like other media companies
do, but if I see a story in a Time, Inc property and find I'm cut off by
the pay wall I know where else to go.
