Thank you for responding. I knew of Android as an OS but didn't want to reboot. But if I understand your point correctly I could access Zinio through Android run as a VM. That's much better than having to reboot. However, is it possible to access Zinio through just an Android emulator? Perhaps genymotion or the Google Android SDK? Android via VM is a good suggestion but seems a bit heavy to run one application. ------------------------------------------------------- On 03/02/2015 04:59 PM, Rick Tanner wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 3/2/15 4:51 PM, rhubarbpieguy at gmail.com wrote: >> This seems a bit convoluted, but is it possible to access Zinio via >> an Android emulator running in Linux? > I have not done this myself, but this page indicates it can be done. > > http://www.howtogeek.com/164570/how-to-install-android-in-virtualbox/ > > Want to run Android on your PC?
