When you click on the front page, the other pages should follow to the right, so just the right arrow to go to next page(s).

Nah. For some reason it just returns to the main page. I must be doing something wrong

Whimsical, that was the problem a while back, though - people's card numbers stopped working on that site, hence the workaround.

All about the mane, can you attach a screenshot, please?

Don’t think a screen shot really explains it. I get into a paper but when I try to go on to the second page it just takes me back to the home page.

It was more to see what was on the background of the paper, but no worries. Have you tried with other newspapers/countries?

Kat1170 · 24-04-2020 8:21am

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Seems that the Irish Independent is no longer available in the Irish version of the library app. However, it is available if you use a VPN from any other country.

It must be all papers under the independent. My local one has gone was there on Tuesday. They also launch there own “e-paper” so I assume the independent is the same

Only noticed that myself this morning, thought it might be a glitch but sounds more like something permanent.

McHonda · 28-05-2020 12:33pm

Still not available on VPN for me through the App. Are you using the libraries Ireland account?

Sarn · 28-05-2020 12:36pm

Just set up a press reader account there through our Irish library and can access the Irish times and independent using a VPN set to the U.K.

To add, we had to log out and back in on one of our devices before it picked up the VPN change.

Hola Chrome extension under UK works perfect and free too.

28-05-2020 1:51pm

Just sat down to read the independent over lunch and see it’s gone. Why is this happening does anyone know?

Works with vpn for me but this will be a pain for my parents who use it all the time. Why does it work from Uk with an Irish library log in but not from Ireland?

INM are simply protecting paywall revenues.

I had assumed they are getting paid for being available to library’s but maybe I’m wrong.

It’s easy to get around anyway, will just have to get my vpn account working my parents devices and show them how to turn it on and off.

normanbond · 29-05-2020 12:11am

There’s a mobile version of most Irish and UK papers. My mates buddy passes them onto him via WhatsApp and he forwards them on to me. I’m glad to get them but don’t want to rock the boat by asking him how he gets them.
Anyone know how to get them??

Independent is 2.50 EUR per week. Irish Times is 3 EUR per week.

They are being paid but clearly not enough to offset lost paywall revenues.

Are you taking about ePapers. The library website has ePapers of some UK publications. Most UK publications will offer their subscribers an ePaper.

Working fine for me, without VPN, yesterday and today.

barneygumble99 · 29-05-2020 10:47am

Mine is working now. Was not working yesterday or earlier this morning. Happy days.

podgeandrodge · 29-05-2020 11:05am

New Home · 29-05-2020 11:33am

I just checked (using the press reader website) - I can't see either of them.

podge018 · 29-05-2020 1:48pm

Indo back for me. Never had the Times.

sweetie · 29-05-2020 3:01pm

yep indo here too, times only through a vpn

New Home · 29-05-2020 3:16pm

Nope, still nothing. I wonder would it depend on what browser I'm using...

I should add, I don’t have a vpn and never saw the times on it even in the past.

29-05-2020 3:41pm

Indo back for me in the app with vpn off now too, not sure about browser as not logged in on browser on this device.

go4it · 29-05-2020 3:44pm

if i use the website on the first page of this thread, with the 'default' full of zero's login number : Indo is gone now ; Times wasn't available from ireland , but could be viewed from 'abroad' (vpn )

if i use pressreader.com and my library number - Indo is there ; Times is there only from 'abroad'

@offtopic: students get free Times subs through Times student hub

New Home · 29-05-2020 4:13pm

That worked like a charm (even using the 9000000 number), thank you!!

hi whats name of this App ???

JTMan · 31-05-2020 7:23am

Can anyone see the Sindo there today? It is not there for me even when I use a VPN.

Edit: Found it - You have to search for the title now rather than clicking on Ireland.

The only Sunday Independent I can find is a South African title. What exactly did you use in your search?

bromley52 · 31-05-2020 10:32pm

I was using Wexford libraries but I noticed that Cork libraries are available for selection so I can use my own library number. Perhaps other libraries are available.

Search by country on https://www.pressreader.com/.

(1) Use a VPN and go to any country other than Ireland.
(2) Go to the Press Reader site and input 900000000.
(3) Search for Sunday Independent (do not go to Ireland section).

This works.

Sarn · 01-06-2020 9:12am

It’s strange how it’s so variable for everyone. I wonder if the local authority library chosen affects what content you see?

Currently, I can access the Irish and Sunday independent (without VPN).

dulpit · 01-06-2020 9:49am

I have account with Cork City Library. I can see:

Irish Independent
Sunday Independent
Irish Examiner
Daily Mirror
Sunday Mirror
Bunch of local papers

When I go to browse by country and scroll to Ireland, I can see 39 options.

When on VPN you should see 75

masterboy123 · 01-06-2020 11:58am

I used US VPN. Then I wrote 900000000 on the search button. Nothing is happening on the site and it keeps loading.
Do I need to download pressreader app?

P.S. without VPN, I can see Sunday Independent, but then it's locked access.

900000000 gets input into the library card number box on the homepage of the desktop version of the website.

The number 9000000 (9 and 7 zeros) should go in the log in box, where it says library n., not in the search box.
