\nThat’s funny – my magazine consumption is increasing, not decreasing. I guess it’s all a part of me attempting to separate my computer \/ Internet time from offline stuff. There’s something very relaxing about sitting down with a hot beverage and a good magazine that cannot be replicated by reading the web site.<\/p>\n

I think for me this more applies to newspapers than magazines – we still get the weekend edition of the local newspaper here, but during the week we get all of our news from the web.<\/p>\n

Albeit I do read quite a few magazines where the content isn’t available on the magazine’s web site, but I think it’s also part of my reading habits. I like to sit down and read a magazine from cover to cover, where as I would never do this with an online version.<\/p>\n

I would be interested to hear if your actual reading habits have changed since you stopped reading physical magazines – do you just dip in and read the occasional article here and there, or do you read through an entire magazine’s articles in one sitting as you might have before?<\/p>\n

I also stopped keeping the majority of magazines that I buy – like you, I used to hoard everything, but after moving a half dozen times in the past 6-8 years I quickly learned that this, coupled with my massive book collection, was a one-way ticket to gigantic moving fees. So I now use magazine web sites for archives, and only keep the ones where the experience is vastly different with the print edition (Communication Arts, for example).<\/p>\n

Just for fun, here’s some of the magazines I still purchase in print form:<\/p>\n

– The Economist (though it’s getting harder and harder to read this cover-to-cover with all of the other distractions)<\/p>\n

– Communication Arts<\/p>\n

– Before & After magazine<\/a><\/p>\n

– Macworld (I have a free subscription lasting for another 2 years or so)<\/p>\n

– Maisonneuve<\/a> – awesome Canadian magazine<\/p>\n

– Walrus<\/a> – another excellent Canadian magazine – similar to Harpers, but with a Canadian perspective<\/p>\n

I would be interested to hear what others are still buying in print form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
