Online; you can access FT online, by downloading PDFs. For earlier issues, we did also have e-magazines but we're now having problems with that format.
So, from Jan 2019 issue, you can download a PDF from the "Issues Index" page.
Additionally, for the current issue only, copies of the pages are shown on this ​"This issue online" page.
