It says they’re digitized and you can read them if you have kindle unlimited, but the link just offers physical copies

It says there a Vimeo on demand series, but it’s gone

It says you can check it out on their website, but there’s nothing there


OMNI Magazine archive (30 GB, CBR & PDF): https://archive.org/details/omni-archive/

Video series (6 GB): https://archive.org/details/omni-the-new-frontier


I'd say about 10% of my brain was formed directly from matter out of Omni magazine.

My peak impressionable years ended almost exactly the same time the magazine did, and my library had every single issue on microfiche.


EDIT: yeah, the domain expired and got snapped up:

http://ww12.omni.media/

Still available for purchase at Amazon, though:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=omni+magazine

TFA is just rambling on about the origins of the magazine, but the archive is supposed to be here:

https://omni.media/channel/omni-archive

But on my end it appears that the domain is down.


The Internet Archive has a copy: https://archive.org/details/omni-archive/.

The high resolution digitized versions are no longer available for purchase at Amazon, just a single issue June 1987. They're also not available anywhere else that I know of, the archive.org versions are inferior / bad scans / low resolution.
