The only magazines that we (hubby and I) subscribe to are Wired and Consumer Reports. I rarely find time to read either one. I will pick up magazines in a doctor's office if I've not brought a book along. They're good for reading when you've got a limited amount of time and you can't take it with you when you leave.
I don't like the typical SF or Mystery magazines since I am not fond of short stories. I mean, really! Unless everyone gets killed off, a short story leaves me asking "and what happens next?" So, it looks like I'm unlikely to order Asimov's, or Amazing, or Alfred Hitchcock's. And I never got into the habit of reading Time or Newsweek -- I don't even visit their websites.
I adore National Geographic and a couple of years ago we bought the "90 years of National Geographic" CD set. It's great to have for reference, but not as satisfying as thumbing through the printed version. I might be a candidate for an online subscription to NG -- but only if I got the high quality photos as well as the excellent articles. And, other than my computer, there's no device out there that can do this magazine justice!
