The main problem, as I see it, with the magazine market is that many "mainstream" paper magazines get a very large proportion of their income from advertising as well as from actual magazine sales. I wonder how effective advertising is on the current generation of eBook readers, and how many of their current "paper" advertisers would be willing to transfer that revenue to an electronic format?
