I no longer buy any paper based magazines. Whilst Zinio still leaves a lot to be desired it provides me with most of the magazines I am interested in in a format that is easy to read and does not take up meters of bookshelf space to store.
In terms of concerns that people will not know where to look to obtain magazines that interest them, well, publishers need to get creative about marketing and making it easy to locate their product.
I would love to see Itunes (I use the Ipad) provide a category of magazines to enable easier location.
I would also like to see a decent tablet device that is lightweight and the physical size of an A4 sheet of paper which the Ipad falls a litle shy of.
