Re: News/400 Mag - electronic vs hard copy

but people likely spend 10x as much time reading from a computer
screen than reading from paper. My guess is magazine publishers would
get more readership if their stuff was accessible in small chunks,
linked to from message boards like this one.

It is probably also most important that the advertiser gets the page
views that they want. An ad in a magazine cant be clicked on like an
online ad can.

Frankly, I wouldn't have a problem of them going to an electronic version
IFF and ONLY IFF they presented the magazine on their website as a WHOLE
MAGAZINE (like IBM's systems mag does) so that I could print is as a
COMPLETE PDF for viewing and archival purposes.   I would have major issues
if they only printed articles.



I'm getting a lot of mags electronically now but they're the same
electronically as if I had them in hard copy.  Some of the electronic reader
technology (especially being used in newspapers!) is really decent.
