Print Magazines are not clutter, people look forward to them. They've replace reading the Sunday paper - for me at least. Sunday I run, I go to the farmer's market and come home and make fresh breakfast, tea and then I read what I got that week. Even if it is for pictures. I am a highly digital, online girl but some things you have to touch and see - magazines are one of them. While digital delivery of MacWorld and those magazines are great, things like the Pottery Barn & West Elm catalog (kudos Jeff, those are Sunday reading too - Try Brocade Home too) you have to look at in print, then you go and buy in person. Also, there are articles in print you can't get online :) Jamie – I partly disagree. Print Magazines are not clutter, people look forward to them.

By the time any Mac mag has had the chance to go to print, the news is well out of date and most of the tips and gems I find from other sources. RSS FTW! I couldn't give a crap about People. Any even mildly interesting celebrity news (and there's not much) I can get from the web as well. If I were going to read a celeb mag, it would be Hola. It's in Spanish (works for me since I can read most of it and it's good review for me) but they don't Photoshop their photos. Eye-opening entertainment there. Newsweek is a good choice I think. Any broad ranging news mag would fit here such as USN&WR. I'm not sure what you'd get from the print version that wouldn't be available in RSS from The Advocate. I much prefer the IKEA catalog to Pottery Barn mag. It's free and fits my style more. :) I think I just have an aversion to print mags now. For the most part, they're just clutter. The only way I would consider subscribing is if it weren't available in some sort of digital version. Even most libraries are doing away with their hardcopy subscriptions in favor of electronic ones. I think that devices like the Kindle could provide some balance, but by and large, paper for periodicals is done. I wouldn’t subscribe to MacWorld.

I subscribe to DWELL and This Old House. I read Men's Health almost monthly since I pick it up at the airport. I can't think of another that I read regularly. Since I now own a house with a pool, I can't say that I read at all when I am lounging. Usually, I am listening to Incognito (great band from the UK) or some smooth jazz, Bob Marley. Hmm, your next blog should be your top 5 summer CDs or songs. I am not sure that I have five monthly magazines that I read. I subscribe to DWELL and This Old House.

I love getting my reading content digitally, but there is something about reading a magazine over a screen.
