A few days ago I compared Calibre's generated Newsweek vs. my print copy for Jan. 13th. Calibre's version included (almost?) everything. Sorry, I forget if there was anything missing (other than some pictures), because I was so astounded that it included every major story, even all the letters to the editor.

You'll miss the layout of the print magazine (we often underestimate the effect of the editor's choice of layout and pictures to signify story importance). But the savings in clutter and paper is very nice.
