Large print editions generally cost more than the regular magazines also. I'm looking forward to the day when an 8.5 x 11 super lightweight, backlight-toggle-option, full-color e-device with a kickstand to hold it upright comes along.

My magazine list for the device I wished for above:

1. National Geographic
2. Conde Nast Traveler
3. Reader's Digest (Don't scorn me because I like heartwarming human stories)
4. Endless Vacation
5. People (Don't scorn me because I like to see celebrities' outfits)
