Digital Magazines (Books) - Do We Want This?

[Florestan]

Fine! You're not getting one 

But your reasoning is very tempting for a whole seperate discussion 

Feel free to open it and I'll certainly join in.

Well, since my OP on this thread, I've been trying the Zinio Reader w/ my subscription to PC Magazine - downloaded the software to my office computer which has a super wide monitor and have looked at the last half dozen issues of the magazine mentioned; not TOO bad - editorials have reviewed a number of customer 'complaints' about the 'new' format, which will be addressed and the software likely changed for the better - 

Not sure that this will be 'prime time' on a small travelling laptop, but I'm adjusting to the idea - I'm sure that my other computer mag, PC World which is still shipping a 'print' version (but offering the same online option) will likely drop the printed format in the near future - just cannot see 'why not' - 

I've also been reading about the 'electronic ink readers' - mainly the Sony & Kindle options, both have been reviewed recently a number of times - some seem to prefer one to another, and the cost is still TOO high - as mentioned before, the future is upon us, but I'd like to see more companies offer these products and at better prices w/ color options - I'll likely be getting more into this electronic publishing in the future; just don't see another choice -
